The Combined Return for Michigan Taxes—Form 160—must be completed on a quarterly or monthly basis. The form is necessary if you are paying all taxes due at one time, and it contains information regarding Corporate Income Tax estimates. To complete, you must supply information generated from either a worksheet or your payroll software: sales tax, the sales tax discount, use tax, the use tax discount, and Michigan withholding figures. Employers must file this return even if no tax is due.
To eliminate duplicate data entry and still generate reliable tax reports, small businesses need software with dependable, yet flexible, performance. Purchasing software to aid in this filing is the easiest option. Yet, even as small business owners look to ruthlessly cut costs, purchasing a Michigan Form 160-specific software is rarely an option. To complete this form, as well as the required calculations for other state-specific forms, you need a system overhaul. Upgrading your payroll system is the perfect choice for those seeking quarterly tax support; the necessary information will be generated from your employee’s wages. This is exactly how AMS can help.
Built on our powerful platform software, AMS Payroll Software is one of our most popular software products. In addition to providing a comprehensive payroll solution, the software will aid in form filing—specifically, Michigan Form 160. The back-end data management feature allows you to record necessary information as it is generated throughout the quarter, and the filing support feature allows for fast, easy, and convenient application.
