****IMPORTANT INFORMATION ****

PLEASE READ BELOW

This is to advise you that the United States Post Office no longer carries Federal, State or City Income Tax Forms. Due to the online applications that are available to the public and the many other locations that carry them we do not have them available any longer.

Welcome to the City of Lansing Income Tax on-line office.  The Income Tax Office administers the City of Lansing Income Tax Ordinance, which was adopted in 1964. 

I asked my auditors for some of the frequently asked questions and areas that people have the most trouble with on their returns.  Here are their responses to me.  We also have our list of the Top 10 mistakes people make preparing their tax returns. 

Lansing tax returns are due on or before April 30th.  

I hope you find this information helpful.
