As of 1/31/2024, it's unknown when you'll be able to electronically file your Colorado tax return.

The Colorado Department of Revenue website indicates only that "The Department of Revenue is working diligently to start processing 2023 income tax returns. Please check back on February 15 for updated information."

That said, you'll most likely be able e-file your Colorado tax return prior to that date. The revenue department will be able to hold your state return until the it's ready to start accepting returns.

Try submitting it now and then to see when it transmits.

i'm getting this

Your transmission didn't go through

We could not e-file your return for the following reason:

Our records indicate that you are not entitled to e-file one or more form sets.

Yes, the state of Colorado has delayed the start of e-filing season.

As JohnW pointed out, their website says, "Check back after February 15". We can't provide more details at this time because the state of Colorado has not provided any.

When checking today, it seems like $1,600 in refund is missing from CO State returns, which was included when we initially filled in the numbers. Early filers are supposed to get $800 per filer as a result of TABOR.

Mine was missing that amount also! And it looked like they were trying to get me to do it all again when I already did. It was even acting like I hadn't paid already to file my state taxes, but I did! Ugh!

I heard TABOR refunds will not be direct payments which means you’ll get a paper check in the mail

TABOR checks this year aren’t going to be direct payments they said they will send them in the mail in early spring

You’ll get a paper check in mail if you’re 19+ years old in spring

I was able to locate the "missing" $1,600.

I had to check the "State Sales Tax Refund" box again in the form. For whatever reason, that box had gotten unchecked since my most recent login.

I wasn't aware that the TABOR refunds would come in the form of a paper check. Thanks for that feedback. We still have to make sure that our Turbotax shows that refund, though. So make sure you check that box.

My 800 is also "missing". When I checked the forms, TurboTax hadn't put the amount in on line 34 of my state return. Hopefully TurboTax fixes it, the state adds it, or it gets rejected and I fix it.

I have no problem raising a fuss if it's not fixed.

When I checked over my return, there was no box available on TurboTax for that refund.

On my test return, the $1,600 showed up on line 34, just like it was supposed to.

Please review this answer in Community and see if it helps.

Also found the TABOR $$ on line 34. Good luck!

Re: colorado state tax returns

The Colorado Department of Revenue website has a banner at the top which states:
