The printed table is a repeat of the table published in the 2022 booklet, which summarizes 2019 data. The values presented in this table are estimates because actual values are not known. Income and taxes paid were estimated using Colorado, federal, and third party data sources. The population is limited to full-year resident Colorado households that filed state and federal income tax returns. Income includes taxable and nontaxable income as well as transfer payments (such as public assistance, supplemental security income, and nutrition assistance). 1 Households estimated to have negative income are excluded from this table because their taxes paid cannot be estimated. Negative income is associated with self- employment, investment losses, and other losses. 2 The Average represents the total taxes paid divided by the total number of income tax returns. The Average was calculated for each row by multiplying the average tax paid for each income group by the number of returns in that income group, and then summing those values together and dividing by the total number of returns. 3 Specific ownership taxes are local property taxes on motor vehicles. 4 The occupational privilege tax is also known as the “head” tax. 5 Employers pay taxes to Medicare and Social Security on the employees’ behalf. This is distinct from the Medicare and Social Security taxes paid by individuals.
Page 3 How To Use This Filing Guide This filing guide will assist you with completing your Colorado Income Tax Return. Please read through this guide before starting your return. Once you finish the form, file it with a computer, smartphone or tablet 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 you cannot file electronically for any reason, mail the enclosed forms as instructed. All Colorado forms and publications referenced in this guide are available for download at Tax.Colorado.gov, the official Taxation website. If you are filing on paper, submitting an incomplete return will delay the processing of your return. Please ensure you provide any supporting schedules or forms and documentation as requested in the instructions. The following symbols appear throughout this guide and point out important information, reminders and changes to tax rules.
This points out a topic that is the source of common filing errors. Filing your return on Revenue Online will reduce the risk of errors; however, it is important to understand the information on your return. Errors cause processing delays and erroneous bills.
Several subtractions and tax credits require you to provide supporting documentation. This symbol points out those requirements. If the additional documentation is not provided, it will cause processing delays or denial of the credits/ subtractions. These documents can be scanned and attached to your electronic filing through Revenue Online or most tax software, mailed with the DR 1778 or included with your paper return.
In-depth tax information is available in our easy to understand guidance publications, which include examples and worksheets. This symbol lets you know when such a publication is available for a subject. All guidance publications are available in the Tax Policy and Research section at Tax.Colorado.gov. Filing Information Who Must File This Tax Return Each year you must evaluate if you should file a Colorado income tax return. Generally, you must file this return if you are required to file a federal income tax return with the IRS for this year or will have a Colorado income tax liability for this year and you are: • A full-year resident of Colorado, or • A part-year Colorado resident who received taxable income while residing here (you must file the DR 0104 along with the DR 0104PN), or • Not a resident of Colorado, but received income from sources within Colorado (you must file the DR 0104 along with the DR 0104PN).
Colorado residents must file this return if they are required to file an income tax return with the IRS, even if they do not have a Colorado tax liability. Otherwise, the Department may file a return on your behalf and our return might not consider your unique tax situation. Also, the only way to determine if you are entitled to a refund is to file a return. Due Date The DR 0104 and any tax payment owed are due April 15. Revenue Online will accept returns as timely filed until midnight. Returns that are mailed must be postmarked by April 15. An automatic extension to file is granted until October 15, but there is no extension to pay. See form DR 0158-I in this book for more information. If the due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, return will be due the next business day. Deceased Persons Legal representatives and surviving spouses may file a return on behalf of a deceased person whose date of death was during the tax year. Surviving spouses may complete the return as usual and indicate the deceased status on the return. They can file the return and submit a copy of the death certificate through Revenue Online. Legal representatives may file the return and submit a copy of the death certificate through Revenue Online, but they must complete the Third Party Designee portion of the return. Either a surviving spouse or legal representative can avoid problems when filing on paper by marking the box next to the name of the deceased person, writing “DECEASED” in large letters in the white space above the tax year of the return, writing “FILING AS SURVIVING SPOUSE” or “FILING AS LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE” after their signature, and including the DR 0102 and a copy of the death certificate with the return.
To claim a refund on behalf of a deceased person: you must submit a copy of the death certificate with the DR 0102 when filing the return. Filing Status
You must file using the same filing status on both your federal and Colorado income tax returns. Any two individuals who legally file a joint federal income tax return must also file their Colorado income tax return jointly. Individuals filing a joint return must list the taxpayer names and Social Security numbers (SSN) in the same order on both the federal and Colorado returns. For married filing separately, do not list your spouse’s name or SSN on the return.
Page 4 Claiming Credits from a Partnership or S Corporation
Individuals claiming tax credits as a partner or shareholder must obtain from the partnership or S corporation a Colorado form DR 0106K reporting the name and employer identification number (EIN) of the partnership or S corporation and the type and amount of the credit. Individuals must submit the DR 0106K with their return. Please visit Tax.Colorado.gov for more information. The Colorado Department of Revenue verifies the credit claims of partners and shareholders by reviewing the partnership or S corporation’s return. The DR 0106K may be submitted through Revenue Online, through tax software or may be included with a paper return. Line-by-Line Instructions for the DR 0104 First, complete the federal income tax return you will file with the IRS. You will use information from that return on your Colorado income tax return. Colorado income tax is based on your federal taxable income, which has already considered your deductions. Residency Status Mark the appropriate box to designate your residency status. If you are filing a joint return, and one person is a full-year Colorado resident and the other is either a part-year resident or a nonresident, mark the Part-Year Resident/Nonresident box. Part-Year Colorado Residents and Nonresidents Tax is prorated so that it is calculated only on income received in Colorado or from sources within Colorado. We recommend you review Income Tax Topics: Part-Year Residents & Nonresidents if this applies to you. You will calculate your prorated tax by completing the DR 0104PN. You must submit the DR 0104PN along with the DR 0104. Persons Traveling or Residing Abroad If you are traveling or residing outside the United States on April 15, the deadline for filing your return is June 15. If you need additional time to file your return, you will automatically have until October 15 to file. Interest is due on any tax paid after April 15. To avoid any late payment penalties, you must pay 90% of your tax liability by April 15, file your return by October 15 and pay any remaining tax due at the time of filing. If the due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, return will be due the next business day. When filing your return, mark the “Abroad on Due Date” box on Revenue Online or the paper return. Active Duty Military Under federal law, a military servicemember’s state of legal residence does not change solely as the result of the servicemember’s assignment for service in another state. Consequently, a Colorado resident who enters into military service will remain a Colorado resident unless they officially change their state of legal residence as described in DD Form 2058. In general, military servicemembers who are Colorado residents are subject to the same income tax filing requirements as other Colorado residents, even if they are serving in another state. These requirements are described on the preceding page, under the heading “Who Must File This Tax Return.” However, any military servicemember who spends at least 305 days of the tax year stationed outside of the United States on active military duty may elect to be treated as a nonresident. The servicemember may make this election by filing a return and checking the applicable box on Form 104PN. Military servicemembers who are stationed in Colorado, but are not Colorado residents, are not required to pay Colorado tax on their military income. However, any other Colorado source income of a nonresident servicemember is subject to Colorado taxation. Please see Tax.Colorado.gov/military-servicemembers for additional information.
The residency rules described above for military servicemembers also apply generally to a servicemember’s spouse if the spouse is residing with the servicemember either inside or outside of Colorado in compliance with the servicemember’s military orders. If a servicemember and their spouse are nonresidents stationed in Colorado, any wages earned by the spouse for work performed in Colorado are not subject to Colorado taxation. The military spouse must complete a DR 1059, provide a copy to their employer when hired for employment, and submit a copy to the Department, along with a copy of their military ID card, when they file their Colorado return each year. The DR 1059 may be filed with the Department through Revenue Online, with DR 1778, or included with a DR 0104 filed by paper. Name and Address Provide your name, mailing address, date of birth, Social Security number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification number (ITIN), and the state of issue, the last four digits, and the date of issuance of your state issued ID card in the provided spaces. If filing Married Filing Jointly, provide the spouse’s information where prompted. Provide the spouse’s information ONLY if filing a joint return. Otherwise leave blank. All Departmental correspondence will be mailed to the mailing address provided. We recommend you read publication FYI General 2 for the Privacy Act Notice. Colorado Health Coverage Easy Enrollment Colorado taxpayers can now share certain information from their state tax return with the Colorado Health Benefit Exchange (Connect for Health Colorado) and the Colorado
Page 5 Department of Health Care Policy & Financing to find out if they qualify for free or reduced-cost health coverage (Colorado Law: 39-21-113(25) C.R.S). If you give your permission, the Department of Revenue will share only the information on form DR 0104EE which includes: • Name and date of birth for you, your spouse, and everyone listed on your taxes as your dependent (your tax household). • Social Security Number or Tax ID for you, your spouse, and everyone listed on your taxes as your dependent. You may choose to not provide Social Security Numbers. • Your address, phone number, and email address so we can contact you. • Your income. • Whether you filed your return electronically or on paper. This information will only be used to check if you can enroll in health coverage and qualify for help paying for coverage. For more information about getting health coverage, visit Connect for Health Colorado at https://connectforhealthco.com. To see if you or members of your household qualify for free or reduced-cost health coverage, check this box if: • At least one person in your household does not have health coverage and • You give permission for the Colorado Department of Revenue to share the information on Form DR 0104EE with Connect for Health Colorado (the Colorado Health Benefit Exchange) and the Department of Health Care Policy & Financing. To share your information, complete form DR 0104EE. If you are using software to complete your tax return, the software may autofill the form for you. Check it to make sure it is accurate and complete. If you are filing a paper return, complete the DR 0104EE and include it with your return. Line–by–Line Instructions for the DR 0104EE Section A: Household Contact Information Complete this information so Connect for Health Colorado can contact you to help you enroll in health coverage. Make sure your name, phone number, email address, and mailing address are correct and complete. Section B: Household Member and Income Information Complete this information so Connect for Health Colorado can check if you or members of your household qualify for free or reduced-cost health coverage. Your household includes yourself, your spouse, and any person that you claim as a tax dependent on your federal income tax return. Dependents are usually children who live with you but may include other relatives you support financially. Line 1: Enter your tax household size here. Include yourself, your spouse, and anyone you claim as a dependent on your federal income tax return. Line 2: Enter your adjusted gross income here. Adjusted gross income is found on line 11 of your federal tax form 1040. Forms adjacent to the 1040, such as the 1040SR, 1040SP, and 1040NR, may also list the adjusted gross income on line 11. Be sure to double check. Line 3: Enter information about yourself, your spouse, and/or dependents for each member of your tax household in the table below. Line 1 Federal Taxable Income Refer to your federal income tax return to complete this line: • Form 1040, 1040SR, 1040NR, or 1040SP If your federal taxable income is a negative amount, be sure to enter the amount as such on your Colorado return. If submitting a paper return, put the negative amount in parentheses, for example ($1,234).
Do not enter your total income or wages on this line because it will make your tax too high. The Department will compare the amount you list here to the return you file with the IRS, so be very careful to complete this correctly. Additions Line 2 State Addback You must enter on line 2 any state income tax deducted on Schedule A of their federal return, subject to certain limitations. If you are a partner or shareholder in a partnership or S corporation that claimed a federal deduction for state income taxes, you must also include on line 2 your distributive or pro rata share of any state income tax deducted by the partnership or S corporation. Your distributive or pro rata share of state income taxes deducted by a partnership or S corporation should appear on line 9 of the Colorado form DR 0106K that you received from the partnership or S corporation. Taxpayers are not required to enter on line 2 any general sales taxes they deducted on Schedule A of their federal return.
For additional information, please see the Department’s published guidance for the state income addback, available online at https://tax.colorado.gov/individual-income-tax- guidance-publications. Line 3 Qualified Business Income Deduction Addback There are two cases where you may be required to add back the amount of a deduction for qualified business income under section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code.
Page 6 If you claimed a deduction for qualified business income under section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code (IRS form 1040, line 13), and your adjusted gross income is greater than $500,000 ($1,000,000 if filing jointly) (IRS form 1040, line 11), you are required to add to federal taxable income an amount equal to that deduction. You must add back the entire deduction regardless of the extent to which your adjusted gross income exceeds the threshold. This addback does not apply to a taxpayer who is required to file a federal Schedule F, Profit or Loss From Farming, with their federal income tax return. Alternatively, if you are a partner in a partnership that made a SALT Parity Election (or a shareholder in an S corporation that made a SALT Parity Election), you are required to add to federal taxable income an amount equal to your qualified business income under section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code. You must add back the entire deduction regardless of your adjusted gross income. This addback is not limited to the deduction taken with respect to the electing partnership or S corporation. The partnership or S corporation will indicate that it made the election by marking the SALT Parity Election box on the Colorado K-1 (DR 0106K) issued to you. An amount on line 15 of the Colorado K-1 may also be an indication that the partnership or S corporation made this election. Line 4 Federal Deduction Addback Taxpayers who have federal adjusted gross income exceeding $300,000 in tax year 2023 may be required to add back itemized or standard deductions over a certain amount in this line. If your federal return filing status was single, married filing separately or head of household AND the following conditions apply: Your federal adjusted gross income as reported on line 11 of IRS Form 1040 exceeds $300,000 and Your itemized or standard deductions on line 12 of IRS Form 1040 exceed $12,000. Then the required addback amount is calculated by subtracting $12,000 from the amount on line 12 of IRS Form 1040. This amount should be reduced by any state income tax deduction from Schedule A of your federal return that is already added back on line 2 of Colorado Individual Income Tax Return DR 0104. The required addback is not reduced by any amount of state income tax addback on line 2 of your Colorado form 104 attributable to your share of state income tax deducted by a partnership or S corporation. If the filing status for your federal return was married filing jointly AND the following conditions apply: Your federal adjusted gross income as reported on line 11 of IRS Form 1040 exceeds $300,000 and Your itemized or standard deductions on line 12 of IRS Form 1040 exceed $16,000. Then the required addback amount is calculated by subtracting $16,000 from line 12 of IRS Form 1040. This amount should also be reduced by any state income tax deduction from Schedule A of your federal return that is already added back on line 2 of Colorado Individual Income Tax Return DR 0104. The required addback is not reduced by any amount of state income tax addback on line 2 of your Colorado form 104 attributable to your share of state income tax deducted by a partnership or S corporation. Line 5 Non-qualifying Distribution addback (CollegeInvest Tuition Savings) An account holder must make an addition on their Colorado return for any distribution, refund, or withdrawal from a qualified state tuition program for any reason other than one of the following qualifying reasons: • To pay qualified higher education expenses (discussed in Department publication Income Tax Topics: 529 Contribution Subtraction); • As a result of a beneficiary’s death or disability; • As a result of receiving a scholarship during the tax year in an amount equal to or greater than the distribution, refunds, or withdrawals made; or • As a result of a change in the designated beneficiary for the account, as described in Chapter 7 of IRS Publication 970. Line 6 Non-qualifying Distribution addback (Colorado ABLE) An account holder must make an addition on their Colorado return for any distribution, refund, or withdrawal from a qualified ABLE program if used for a purpose other than one of the following qualifying reasons: • To pay qualified disability expenses (discussed in Department publication Income Tax Topics: ABLE Subtraction); • As a result of a beneficiary’s death or disability; • As a result of a change in the designated beneficiary for the account, as described in the “ABLE Account” section of IRS Publication 907. *Since this is the first year contributions may be subtracted, you should not have an add back for TY 2023. Line 7 Other Additions Enter the sum of the following and specify which addition(s) in text box: • Bond interest: the amount of any interest earned from bonds issued by any state or political subdivision, excluding any bonds issued by the State of Colorado or its political subdivisions on or after May 1, 1980. Calculate the appropriate amount by subtracting the amortization of bond premiums and expenses (required to be allocated to interest income by Internal Revenue Code) from the gross amount of state and local bond interest. We recommend that you read the Individual Income Tax Guide if this applies to you. • Charitable gross conservation easement: the amount of your federal charitable deduction for a conservation easement that is also claimed for a Colorado tax credit. Complete the DR 1305 Part D.
Page 7 • Alien labor: the amount of expenses for unauthorized alien labor services. We recommend that you read the Individual Income Tax Guide if this applies to you. • Partnership/Fiduciary: the amount of any fiduciary adjustment or partnership modification that increases your federal taxable income. • Any expenses incurred by a taxpayer with respect to expenditures made at, or payments made to, a club that restricts membership on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, race, creed, religion, color, ancestry or national origin. • Distributions from a medical savings account not made for an eligible expense. Line 8 Subtotal Enter the sum of lines 1 through 7. Line 9 Subtractions from the DR 0104AD Schedule, line 23 Transfer the amount from the DR 0104AD line 23 to report any subtractions from your Federal Taxable Income. These subtractions will change your Colorado Taxable Income from the amount of Federal Taxable Income. See instructions in the income tax booklet for additional guidance on completing this schedule. Do not enter negative amounts. To ensure faster processing of your paper return, the amount entered on line 9 must exactly match the amount on the DR 0104AD. You must submit the DR 0104AD with your return. Line 10 Colorado Taxable Income Subtract line 9 from line 8. This is your Colorado taxable income and is the figure used to determine how much Colorado tax is owed, if any. Part-Year Residents or Nonresidents Go To the DR 0104PN. Full-Year Residents Continue To Line 11 Line 11 Colorado Tax The income tax rate is currently 4.4%. Full-year residents should refer to the tax table in this booklet. Determine the tax by the amount listed on line 10. Part-year residents and nonresidents should transfer the apportioned tax amount from the DR 0104PN line 36. You must submit the DR 0104PN along with the DR 0104. Line 12 Alternative Minimum Tax Enter the amount of any Alternative Minimum Tax. Generally, if you pay alternative minimum tax on your federal income tax return, you will pay the same for your Colorado return. We recommend that you read the Individual Income Tax Guide if this applies to you. Line 13 Recapture of Prior Year Credits Enter any credit claimed in prior years that is subject to recapture under Colorado law. Line 14 Subtotal Sum of lines 11 through 13.

Complete the DR 1366 and transfer line 85 to this line. The total Nonrefundable Enterprise Zone Credit used combined with nonrefundable credits from lines 15 and 17 cannot exceed the amount on line 14. You must submit the DR 1366 and a copy of each certificate with your return.
The Department strongly recommends electronic filing for taxpayers with enterprise zone credits. Failure to file electronically may result in delays processing your return.

Do NOT include withholding for federal income tax, income tax from another state, or income tax from local governments.

Page 18 Instructions for Select Credits from the DR 0104CR Line 1 Child Tax Credit 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. You must complete the DR 0104CN and attach it to your return. See the DR 0104CN for additional instructions on eligibility.

Line 2 Child Care Expenses Credit (DR 0347 and DR 0104CR Part I) Taxpayers who pay child care expenses during the year and whose Adjusted Gross Income is $60,000 or less may be able to claim a child care expenses credit. Use form DR 0347 to calculate this credit and submit it along with the form DR 0104CR. Line 7 Business Personal Property Credit for Individual Business Owners The income tax credit for business personal property taxes is limited to $18,000 of the actual value of your personal property that you paid tax on during 2023. This is different than real property, which is not eligible for this credit. If your actual value is less than $18,000, you can claim the total amount of the assessment you paid, and you must include the assessor’s statement(s) for which you are claiming the credit. To find your actual value, either look for it on your statement, or find your assessed value and divide it by 0.29. Actual Value = Assessed Value/0.29. If you own personal property whose actual value is above $18,000 for which you were assessed, you can only claim the assessment on the first $18,000 of the property in question. You will need to prorate your assessment with the following formula: 18,000 * assessment = allowable credit actual value For example, if your assessment was $2,000 for personal property tax paid in 2023, but your actual value was $25,000, you would be permitted to claim $1,440 (72% of the tax assessed or ($18,000/$25,000)*$2,000)).
