Complete this form to calculate the 2022 Colorado child tax credit. If you claim a Colorado child tax credit on line 1 of form DR 0104CR, you must complete this form and submit a copy with your 2022 Colorado individual income tax return. You may be allowed to claim a Colorado child tax credit if you claimed a federal child tax credit or additional child tax credit on federal tax form 1040, 1040 NR, 1040 SR, or 1040 SP (lines 19 or 28). You may also be allowed to claim a Colorado child tax credit for a child that did not have a social security number valid for employment issued before the due date of your federal return. The 2022 Colorado child tax credit is limited to qualifying children who are under the age of 6 at the end of 2022. The credit is not allowed if your federal adjusted gross income (1040, 1040 NR, 1040 SR, or 1040 SP line 11) is greater than $75,000 ($85,000 for joint filers). If your federal adjusted gross income is greater than this amount, or if you do not have qualifying children under age 6, do not complete this form. You are not eligible for the Colorado child tax credit. If you completed IRS Schedule 8812 Credits for Qualifying Children and Other Dependents (Form 1040), some of the amounts used in this form can be found on that schedule or in related worksheets. These instructions will indicate when you may use amounts from that schedule. You may also need amounts from other IRS forms or schedules to complete this form. Do you have an eligible child? In general, an eligible child is a child who qualified for the federal child tax credit (or additional child tax credit), and who was under age 6 at the end of 2022. A child who did not qualify for the federal child tax credit is eligible if the child: Is your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, or a descendant of any of them (for example, your grandchild, niece, or nephew); AND Was under age 6 at the end of 2022 (born in 2017 or later); AND Did not provide over half of their own support for 2022 (see IRS Publication 501); AND Lived with you for more than half of 2022 (see Who Qualifies as Your Dependent in the instructions for IRS form 1040 for exceptions); AND Does not file a joint federal tax return for 2022 (or files it only to claim a refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid); AND Was a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or U.S. resident alien (see IRS Publication 519 for more information) (see also instructions for Schedule 8812 regarding adopted children); AND Had a social security number (SSN) that was not valid for employment or an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) before the due date of your 2022 return (including extensions). Special rules apply if a child is the eligible child of more than one person. If this applies to you, refer to the instructions for IRS form 1040 regarding Who Qualifies as your Dependent (qualifying child of more than one person) and IRS Publication 501. If you do not have any children who meet these qualifications, do not complete this form. You are not eligible for the Colorado child tax credit. Line-by-line Instructions Section A: Eligible Child Information List each eligible child’s name, four-digit year of birth (e.g., 2017), social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Check the “Deceased” box for an eligible child only if the child was born and died in this tax year and was not assigned an SSN or ITIN.
If you check the “Deceased” box, you must submit a copy of the child’s birth certificate, death certificate, or hospital records showing a live birth with your return. If you have more than four qualifying children, you must file your return electronically. You may file an electronic return using our free and secure Revenue Online service at Colorado.gov/RevenueOnline. You may also file using private e-File software or with a paid tax preparer. You significantly reduce the chance of errors by filing your return electronically.
If the year of birth is 2016 or earlier, the child is not eligible for the Colorado child tax credit and cannot be listed in Section A or counted on line 2. 2022 Colorado Child Tax Credit You must include a copy of this completed form with your tax return.
