After E-filing my Colorado state return from Turbotax desktop on March 1 I checked the result at Colorado Revenue Online (colorado.gov/revenueonline) and found it marked with a red exclamation point, indicating that it had a problem. Clicking through my filing I found that Form 104 Line 33 was 0 or blank so that I was not getting the state sales tax refund to which both Turbotax and that form's instructions said I was entitled. I also noticed that online there was an unchecked box above Line 33 for me to claim this refund, a box that does not appear on the Turbotax version. I finally amended my return directly on Colorado Revenue Online, which enabled me to check that box and to have my sales tax refund populate Line 33. In the process I also found that I needed to check several other boxes that the Turbotax upload had left unchecked to remove the red exclamation point and get the state to finally accept my return. These other boxes mostly pertained to verifying things like the name I gave was my legal name and my address was my legal residence. Turbotax needs to validate their State of Colorado upload!
