## When to register for tax collection

In Michigan, Stripe Tax supports calculation and collection of sales tax (including seller use tax).

See [Needs attention](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations?primary_tab=needs_attention) tab to get insights about your potential tax registration obligations in Michigan. Stripe also notifies you with email and Dashboard alerts when you need to register to collect tax. Learn more about how the [monitoring tool works](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/monitoring.md).

Remote sellers must register to collect and remit sales tax in Michigan when, in the previous calendar year, they do one of the following:

- Exceed a sales threshold of 100,000 USD
- Meet or exceed volume threshold of 200 transactions

The thresholds include gross sales, including marketplace sales.

If your **head office** in the [tax settings page](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/tax) of the Dashboard is in Michigan, you’re not a remote seller and you must register due to your physical presence in the state.

## Register to collect tax

If you’re a remote seller, [Stripe can register with the local tax authorities](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/use-stripe-to-register.md) for you.

## Report and file your taxes

### Filing

These partners automatically sync your tax transaction data in real time, eliminating the need for manual data entry or file transfers.

### Location reports

[Location reports](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports.md#us-location-reports) offer a summary of transaction and refund data for specific US locations and align with Michigan filing requirements. You have the option to report on an annual, quarterly, or monthly basis.
