下面搬运去年的讨论：
—————————————————————我是凉爽的分割线————————————————
Hi Peter,
Please see the reply from City of Lansing Income Tax Division.
You have no City of Lansing income tax liability because your
permanent home is not Lansing and you do not work in
Lansing. Because we will receive from the State of Michigan a notice that
you have filed a State of Michigan return with a City of Lansing
address, please file a City of Lansing income tax return reporting no City
of Lansing income tax liability. If you do not file a City
information return, you will get a letter from the City assessing a tax
because we would not know you are an international student.
IF you have further questions, please contact us.
City of Lansing Income Tax Division
Then I reconfirmed there is* no city of Lansing tax liabilities of
international students who lives in Lansing and working for MSU (East
Lansing)* because:
1) His/her permanent home is not Lansing ( "Permanent and principal home to
which a person, wherever temporarily located, ALWAYS intends to return and
a person has only 1 domicile at a time".), and
2) Income source is from East Lansing but not City of Lansing.
Regarding to what kind of documents needed to shown that an individual is
an international student and here is the answer:
Send in a blank return with a statement that you are an
international student, no other documentation is required.
*Suggestions to avoid this letter in the future: For students who received
income form the university and also live in City of Lansing, *file City of
Lansing income tax return BEFORE 4/15 each year, reporting all zeros on the
form which states that you do not have any City of Lansing income tax
liability. Also attache a statement showing that you are an international
student.
Hope this helps,
Sincerely,
Catherine.

我曾经发信问过lansing的税务部门，他们回信说 f1不用交，但感觉他们也不是很明白。每年学校报
税的网站上会提醒住lansing的同学可能要交city 税，但貌似也没有定论。
————————————————————————
国际学生应该不用交。 我的经验是，给 [log in to unmask] 发一封信。解释我是国际学生
F1，住Lansing的apartment，没有property，毕业之后会离开美国。
几天后，管tax的小米叫我email 给他 F1 visa的copy。告知我不用交city tax，他更改了我的记录。
