Generally, credits and any carryforwards allowed are calculated here and then carried to the MBT Nonrefundable Credits Summary (Form 4568). Review the descriptions carefully before claiming a credit as there are strict eligibility requirements. Follow the instructions on the form for each credit. NOTE: This form may also be used by financial institutions to claim a limited number of credits: • • • • • Renaissance Zone Credit Historic Preservation Credit Individual or Family Development Account Credit Brownfield Redevelopment Credit Assigned Film Infrastructure Credit. Insurance companies use the Miscellaneous Credits for Insurance Companies (Form 4596) to claim credits for which they are eligible. NOTE: Beginning January 1, 2012, only those taxpayers with a certificated credit, which is awarded but not yet fully claimed or utilized, may elect to be MBT taxpayers. Fiscal Year Filers: All credits must be calculated using actual numbers from the period included on this return. For more information, see “Supplemental Instructions for Standard Fiscal MBT Filers” in the MBT Forms and Instructions for Standard Taxpayers (Form 4600). Special Instructions for Unitary Business Groups Credits are earned and calculated on either an entity-specific or group basis, as determined by the relevant statutory provisions for the respective credits. Intercompany transactions are not eliminated for the calculation of most credits. Credits earned or calculated on either an entity-specific or group basis by Unitary Business Group (UBG) members are generally applied against the tax liability of the UBG, unless otherwise specified by statute or these instructions. Entity-specific provisions are applied on a member-by-member basis and are addressed in the “Line-by-Line Instructions.” In none of these cases does a taxpayer that is a UBG take the organization type of its parent, Designated Member (DM), or any other member of the UBG. A UBG taxpayer will not be attributed an organization type based on the composition of its members. If any member of the UBG is eligible for an entity-specific credit, a statement must be attached to the form identifying the eligible member and any information requested for the credit. If more than one member is eligible, requested information should be provided in the statement on a per member basis. The total amount from all eligible members should be entered on each corresponding line on the form. To the extent that a qualified taxpayer earning the Brownfield Redevelopment Credit or Historic Preservation Credit is included within a UBG taxpayer for relevant tax years, the qualified taxpayer’s unused pre-2008 Brownfield Redevelopment Credit and/or Historic Preservation Credit (that is, such credits earned under the Single Business Tax (SBT)) may be applied against the tax liability imposed on the entire UBG taxpayer (of which the qualified taxpayer is a member) for the tax years the carryforward would have been available under SBT. These carryforwards are claimed on the MBT Single Business Tax Credit Carryforwards (Form 4569). Find additional information on calculating credit carryforwards in the “Supplemental Instructions for Standard Members in UBGs” section in the MBT Forms and Instructions for Standard Taxpayers (Form 4600). Line-by-Line Instructions Lines not listed are explained on the form. Name and Account Number: Enter name and account number as reported on page 1 of the applicable MBT annual return (either the MBT Annual Return (Form 4567) for standard taxpayers or the MBT Annual Return for Financial Institutions (Form 4590)). UBGs: Complete one form for the group. Enter the DM’s name and account number. UBG NOTE: If the eligible taxpayer is a member of a UBG, a pro forma calculation must be performed to determine the tax liability of the eligible taxpayer prior to this credit. Where a pro forma calculation is required, the underlying objective is to determine what the tax liability of the UBG member generating the credit would have been if that member was not included in the UBG. Therefore, the UBG member generating the credit must calculate its pro forma tax liability as if it was a singular, stand alone taxpayer in all aspects. This supporting calculation should be provided in a statement attached to this form. However, this calculation should never be transferred to a Form 4567 or displayed as such. PART 1 If not taking any credits in Part 1, skip to Part 2. Lines 1-3: For tax years ending after December 31, 2016, the NASCAR Speedway Credit is no longer available. Lines 4-6: For tax years ending after December 31, 2012, the NASCAR Stadium Credit is no longer available. Start-Up Business Credit The Start-Up Business Credit provides a credit for small, relatively new taxpayers with substantial research and development activity. For a qualified taxpayer, the credit is equal to the taxpayer’s MBT liability for the year. To qualify, a taxpayer must apply to and obtain annual certification from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), and attach that certificate to its MBT return. For an application form 75 or additional information, call the MEDC at (517) 373-9808. For the tax year for which a Start-Up Business Credit is claimed, compensation, director fees, or distributive shares paid by the taxpayer to any one of the following cannot exceed $135,000: • A shareholder of a C Corporation or S Corporation. Shareholder means a person who owns outstanding stock in a business or is a member of a business entity (for example, an LLC) that files as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. All members of a shareholder’s family, as defined by Internal Revenue Code (IRC) § 318(a)(1), that receive compensation from the business are considered shareholders. • An officer of a C Corporation. • A partner of a Partnership or Limited Liability Partnership. • A member of a Limited Liability Company (LLC). • An Individual who is an owner. Officer means an officer of a corporation other than a subchapter S corporation, including all of the following: (a) The chairperson of the board, (b) The president, vice president, secretary, or treasurer of the corporation or board, (c) Persons performing similar duties and responsibilities to persons described in subdivisions (a) and (b) that include, at a minimum, major decision making. Corporations (and LLCs federally taxed as such) must report compensation and director fees of shareholders and (if a C Corporation) officers on the MBT Schedule of Shareholders and Officers (Form 4577) and include it as part of the return. Partnerships (and LLCs federally taxed as such) must report distributive shares to partners on the MBT Schedule of Partners (Form 4578) and include it as part of the return. A taxpayer that meets the criteria and that is a qualified start-up business that does not have business income for two consecutive tax years may claim a credit against the tax imposed for the second of those two consecutive tax years and each immediately following consecutive tax year in which the taxpayer does not have business income. For the purposes of this credit, business income excludes funds received from small business innovation research grants and small business technology transfer programs established under the Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982, Public Law 97-219, reauthorized under the Small Business Research and Development Enhancement Act, Public Law 102-564, and subsequently reauthorized under the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 2000, Public Law 106-554. A Start-Up Business Credit cannot be claimed for more than a total of five tax years including the number of years the taxpayer was eligible to claim the credit under SBT. UBGs: If the eligible taxpayer is a member of a UBG, this credit is based on the eligible member’s business activity only. This credit amount is limited to the pro forma tax liability calculated for the eligible taxpayer for that tax year. The resulting credit amount is then applied towards the UBG’s tax liability for that tax year. Line 7: Enter the tax liability from Form 4568, line 12, or the eligible member’s pro forma liability if part of a UBG. Attach supporting MEDC Certification Letter. 76 UBGs: See guidance on pro forma calculations in the UBG note earlier in these instructions. Line 8: Enter any recapture of Start-Up Business Credit. NOTE: A company claiming the Start-Up Business Credit under either MBT or SBT must pay back a portion of the credit if they have no business activity in Michigan and have business activity outside of Michigan within three years after the last tax year in which the credit was taken. The following amounts must be added to the tax liability: • 100 percent of the total of all credits claimed if the move is within the first tax year after the last tax year for which a credit is claimed. • 67 percent of the total of all credits claimed if the move is within the second tax year after the last tax year for which a credit is claimed. • 33 percent of the total of all credits claimed if the move is within the third tax year after the last tax year for which a credit is claimed.

Line 11: Attach the certificate issued by MEDC for this credit to the return to substantiate a claim. (If the certificate is not attached, the credit will be disallowed.) UBGs: If the eligible taxpayer is a member of a UBG, the eligible member’s calculated pro forma liability (not the group’s liability) must be used to determine the credit amount certified by the MEDC. This supporting pro forma calculation should be provided in a statement attached to this form. See guidance on pro forma calculations in the UBG note earlier in these instructions. For more information, call the MEDC at (517) 373-9808 or visit the MEDC Web site at http://www.michiganadvantage.org/.

The credit may be claimed as either a refundable accelerated credit (on Form 4889) or a nonrefundable credit. Non-refundable credits and non-refundable carryforwards of the credit are claimed here. A taxpayer may elect to claim a certificated historic preservation credit in the year in which a credit is available and will be taxable under the MBT until the qualifying credit and any carryforward of the credit are extinguished.

Form 4573 (Obsolete) is a Michigan Corporate Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.
About the Corporate Income Tax
The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.
Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).
Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
