Do I have to attach receipts to my State of Colorado tax return for charitable contributions?

My total Charitable donation for the State of Colorado is $6,047. They allow $5,547 to be deducted from income. Do I have to attach each receipt received at time of donation and a detailed listing of everything I donated to my return? I would be attaching about 40 pieces of paper.

No, but keep them in case of an inquiry.

Then why do the instructions on Page 10 of the CO tax booklet say, "For claims greater than $5,000, submit the receipts you received at the time of donation. For in-kind donations, submit an itemized list of the donated items and their fair market value. Submit using Revenue Online or attach to your paper return. Do not send receipts of items that were purchased for donation."

I don't understand if they mean for a single claim or if they mean the total of all claims. Maybe the "s" in receipts mean for total and not a single but does this make sense?

or does it mean per charitable entity. For example, if I gave to Goodwill multiple times during the year and the sum of those receipts (so here is the plural) total $5,000 or more?
