Partnerships must file Form 8075, Michigan Partnership Information Return, which includes information about the partnership's income, deductions, and credits, as well as information about the partners and their respective shares of the partnership's income and deductions.

In addition to Form 8075, partnerships may be required to file other forms and schedules, such as Schedule K-1, which reports each partner's share of the partnership's income, deductions, and credits.
Partnerships may also be required to file Form 4567, Michigan Apportionment of Partnership Income, if they have income from sources within and outside of Michigan.
