Summary

  • Same-sex marriage is legal in Michigan. Based on the US Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, the value of health insurance benefits provided to an employee's same-sex spouse is no longer subject to state income tax withholding. However, the value of such benefits provided to an employee's civil union partner or domestic partner remains taxable in Michigan. See Same-Sex Couple Health Insurance Benefits.
