Michigan Detroit City Tax Question

Post by Pow3rTow3r »

I work a W2 job in the City of Detroit, Wife received 1099-NEC and made just under $1,400 working for Expensify from home on laptop. Wife and I do not live in Detroit. I am the only one who works in the city.

I am doing taxes this year on Turbotax and this is my first time having to do taxes involving a 1099 NEC. I know she is a sole proprieter. Turbotax is asking a few questions about "income apportionment" when I get to the on the Detroit City Tax section. What is income apportionment? Can I skip the section/questions regarding income apportionment? Why is Detroit even concerned about my wife's "business" if her work has absolutely no nexus to the city of Detroit?
