Why are we finding out about missing 2019 returns now?

With the implementation of the East Lansing income tax occurring at the same time as the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been difficult to engage in any activity other than processing tax returns. For both 2019 and 2020, the due date for filing returns was extended. This materially delayed the time needed to finalize the processing of all returns. Since the deadline for 2021 returns was not extended, the City now has the time available to conduct this review.
