Submitting a voluntary disclosure agreement (VDA)—an agreement between your business and its jurisdictions to limit lookback periods and generally waive penalties during tax reviews—can be one of the most effective ways to voluntarily meet compliance obligations.
In Michigan, a UBG with standard members must file Form 4567. A Designated Member (DM) must file the return on behalf of the standard members of the group. In a parent- subsidiary controlled group, the controlling member must serve as DM if it has nexus with Michigan.
If you have willfully failed to comply with tax or tax-related obligations, submitting a voluntary disclosure may be a means to resolve your non-compliance and limit exposure to criminal prosecution. You have a legal duty to fully comply with U.S. tax laws. Voluntary compliance is the cornerstone of our tax system.
