As one who for so many years didnât even realize the conflict the POW/MIA flag represented most, I stand as evidence that racism is not the legacy of that banner, but that itâs something much deeper and universal.
Personal income tax. Michigan's personal income tax rate dropped to 4.25 percent on Jan. 1, 2013. Michigan tax returns are due by April 15, or the next business day if that date falls on a weekend or holiday. Several cities also impose additional income taxes, meaning different forms must be filed in varying municipalities.
In a typical year, April 15 would be the red-letter day for taxes. This year, however, April 15 has been pushed aside by April 18. April 18 is this year's deadline to file taxes or apply for an extension. Usually, when April 15 falls on a weekend the tax deadline is moved to the following Monday. April 15 falls on a Friday this year but another event, Emancipation Day, is pushing back the deadline three more days.
