<<The only investment income I had taxable by Colorado were ordinary and qualified dividends and capital gains that doesn't amount to much. These were from an IRA invested in a short term bond mutual fund.>>
and this doesn't sound right. if this is an IRA, unless you distributed the money out of the IRA, there is no taxable income to report. if you did distribute the money, it is all taxed as ordinary income; there is no quaified dividends or capital gains to report. Did you key in the 1099-R correctly (there should be no 1099-B)
