Winter heating bills can be expensive.
The Michigan Home Heating Credit can help offset some of those costs for qualifying homeowners or renters.
You can apply for the 2018 credit even if you do not file a Michigan state tax return.
Last year, 315,000 people applied for the credit, with the average being $191, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury.
To qualify, you must live in Michigan; you must own or rent a home or apartment, or a mobile home on a lot in a mobile home park; and you must meet income guidelines.
