Tax Refunds

The FM radio tax supports the student-run radio station, Impact 89FM, as well as the student media website, impact89fm.org. The organization is supported by a student-voted fee collected each semester.

In order to fulfill a Tax Refund request, three pieces of information are required:

1. A completed version of Impact 89FM’s Tax Refund Request form, which can be downloaded here.
2. Proof of identity, using a photo of the front of your MSU student ID.
3. Proof of payment of the FM Radio Tax, using a screenshot of your tuition bill, which can be found online through student.msu.edu

In order to submit your Tax Refund request, you may email the requested information to [email protected].

Digital communication is strongly preferred. If you are unable to email the requested information, you may also mail a copy to the station at Impact 89FM, Attn: Tax Refund, 234 Wilson Rd, Suite G-4, Holden Hall, East Lansing, MI 48825. 

For fall and spring semesters, you must take action before the end of the first two weeks (or first 10 class days) of the semester, with Impact 89FM receiving all necessary documentation no later than 7:00 P.M. on the 10th day of classes.

For summer semesters, you must take action before the end of the first two weeks (or first 10 class days) of the first session, with Impact 89FM receiving all necessary documentation no later than 7:00 P.M. on the 10th day of classes.
