  Your information flows from your federal return to the state return.  The software will follow the tax laws of your state.     CO does tax Social Security, so you can expect to be taxed.

In TurboTax, you do not need to manually enter the deduction for Social Security benefits into the Colorado state section. Instead, the information flows automatically from your Federal return. For the 2025 tax year, Colorado has expanded these rules to allow more residents to fully deduct their benefits.

During the Colorado interview, you will reach a section titled "Subtractions from Income" or "Pension and Annuity Income Exclusion".  TurboTax will display a summary of the Social Security amount that was taxed on your federal return and show it being excluded (subtracted) from your Colorado income.
