After you file

Colorado was making changes to TABOR up until nearly the end of the year:

"Nov. 17 - Nov. 20, 2023 a special session of the 74th General Assembly was held in Colorado, which t...."

 

As a former tax programmer (not with TurboTax), I can tell you how hard it is to get the next year ready to do the return right, much less add features which may admittedly be nice.

 

The history of the Covid era when Congress and states were making changes as late as FEBRUARY with the consequent confusion and delays (what I called "moving the goalposts" at the time) provided ample examples of how late legislation prevents writing software the way you would like.

 

"The software should be able to check ages of the person who files tax return, as well, for the claim above."

 

Actually since I answered a lot of TABOR questions this season, I thought it did check the age before asking the two questions, but I have just rerun the test, and I see that it doesn't at the moment. But there are umpty-bumpty places in TurboTax where users complain that they can't find questions when it turns out that they aren't eligible for the feature anyway. So TurboTax does this checking for eligibility a lot.

 

Again, I would attribute this to the late changes in CO law relating to TABOR rather than a policy failure. I would hope that next year that they would have added this check back in.
