64.1. How to E-File Your MI Report
Uploading Your Michigan E-File
Unfortunately the Michigan BOE has ruled that any outside solutions such as Campaign Manager should not have the ability to e-file reports. So there is a bit of a manual process required to get your report successfully transmitted to the state of Michigan.
But not to worry! The process isn't too complicated - here is every step you'll need to take to get filed:
1) In Campaign Manager, go to Compliance > Government Reports and generate your MI state report
2) On the report results screen, right-click on the "Michigan Party Electronic Report (CSV)" hyperlink
3) Choose "Save Link As" and save this file to your desktop
4) On that same screen, you'll see a link to download the MI MiLoad application — if you don't already have this on your machine, you'll need to download it here.
5) Once you've downloaded the file from the above link, unzip this file, and double-click the "Michigan MERTS Vendor Package" folder to open it
6) Double-click the "miload" folder to open it, then double click the "MIload" application file
7) When the "MIload" application opens, go to File > Upload
8) A window will open where you need to locate the file you downloaded from Campaign Manager and saved to your desktop in step 3 above
9) A "Settings" window will open where you need to enter three pieces of information into the "Upload" tab:
- Your MI password (provided by the state, not Aristotle)
- Your MI state committee ID number
- Your email address
10) In the "Configure" tab, enter the following information:
- Internet Server: miboecfr.nictusa.com
- Agency ID: MI
11) Click the "OK" button to send your report to the state of Michigan!
