GOOD NEWS. I received the TurboTax email at 2:00 am this morning, 2/11, that says the state of Colorado has accepted my return that was filed on 1/26/23. Only 2 hours past the "no later than date" of 2/10/23 posted on the Colorado DOR site https://tax.colorado.gov/ROL-Delays-Acceptance-of-2022-Returns. Not bad Colorado. I also received TurboTax CO state acceptation emails at 6:13 am this morning, 2/11, for two other returns that were filed on 2/2/23. I have checked the Colorado DOR site for the status of all these returns and the one I filed on 1/26/23 shows "Refund Reviewed", but the other two show as "Not Yet Processed".

I cannot speak to other issues you have had with TT, but this particular one was not the fault of TT. I do agree and suggest to TT that there should have been notification to all Colorado filers of this delay as was noted in my previous post.
@AmyC
Thank you for your additional information of the IRS request to delay filing. I have an issue of how TT has handled this situation. I use TT so that I do not have to spend time studying tax code. I have in the past done my own business tax returns and spent hours studying tax code. The main reason I pay for TT is that they will do this for me. Colorado distributed TABOR cash refunds to millions of people last year. This was not a fringe tax issue. The Colorado DOR site even suggested that this would not be taxable. So if TT was aware that the IRS could possibly tax these refunds, then it was absolutely their responsibility to notify their paying clients of this issue. TT issues desktop app updates every Thursday (sometimes Friday). They flag forms that are not ready to be filed, so there is no reason why they could not have flagged this issue within the program. I would have gladly waited until yesterday when they learned the refunds would not be taxable. Had I had to submit three amended returns because of this, I would have looked twice at using TT in the future. I will reiterate, I pay for this app so that I do not have to spend my personal time learning tax code. I hope the tax experts can understand this and forward this to the Powers That Be.
All that being said, and to end on a positive note, I have had a great experience with TT for the past 10 years. The desktop apps have rarely caused issue and the experts and knowledge base have always been helpful. Thanks to all who have contributed to addressing this particular issue.
