REO Town is one of Lansing's distinctive business communities. A revitalizing creative and commercial district south of downtown. Whether you run a storefront, a service company, or a home-based venture here, Tides Bookkeeping keeps your books accurate, categorized, and ready for tax season - without you ever leaving REO Town.
As part of the greater Lansing, MI economy within Ingham County, REO Town businesses share the same Michigan tax and compliance landscape as the rest of the area. Our remote-first process means you get a dedicated bookkeeper and clean monthly financials no matter where in Lansing you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
Michigan keeps two things simple - a flat 4.25% state income tax and a single statewide 6% sales tax with no local add-on. The wrinkle is local income tax: about two dozen Michigan cities (Detroit at 2.4%, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Flint, Saginaw, and more) levy their own city income tax that employers must withhold from anyone who lives or works in the city. Getting that city withholding right for every employee is exactly the kind of detail we keep straight.
