Colorado accepting TurboTax

Slmchenry01 — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 12:45:12 GMT

Hello, Colorado announced it started accepting TurboTax returns on Friday, February 22nd. Why is my return still showing pending? Everything I read on these discussion posts said TurboTax would automatically send the return as soon as Colorado began accepting them. How do I get TurboTax to submit mine if it’s still showing pending?

I have the same question. State says I still need to file. TurboTax hasn't sent me any "accepted" or "rejected" emails for the state. Federal is already done and received.

Colorado taxpayers are experiencing unusual delays in having their returns accepted this year. The Colorado Department of Revenue only began processing returns Friday, February 21st. They are processing them in the order they were received. If you are awaiting a refund, use this tool to check the status: https://tax.colorado.gov/where-is-my-refund

I e filed in January. My Federal was already sent and I received my refund. However, with Colorado, the state website is telling me to File, but I already did with Turbo. On Turbo, it shows Colorado accepted my return on the 18th and is pending. It is now the 23rd and the state website does not reflect or show they accepted it. At the least, it should show it was accepted and being processed. This has never happened before. Colorado is always late in accepting, but usually they will show it was accepted on the same date Turbo shows. How do I confirm what Turbo shows is correct? Thank you

As Colorado works through the backlog of returns recently accepted, there will be a lag between the acceptance date and the update on the state website.

If this issue persists beyond ten business days, please let us know.

I just got a "Your 2024 Colorado Personal return was accepted!" so looks like the backlog is working it's way through the system.
