Colorado Use Tax reporting for tax year 2024

[ldk25]

I cannot find where to report out-of-state purchase amounts in order to account for the Colorado Use Tax. I have followed instructions from previous years but cannot find anything in the current software for tax year 2024. It seems the Use Tax function has been left out.

The DR 0104US - Consumer Use Tax Reporting Schedule is obsolete and should not be used for any date after tax year 2023.  It is not included with the Colorado state income tax.

You can pay separately.  See Consumer Use Tax | Department of Revenue - Taxation.

The old Colorado Use Tax Form was indeed removed.  However, according to the current Colorado Consumer Use Tax Guide Dr 104US has been replaced with DR 0252.  DR 0252 does not show up in TT.

TurboTax does not support DR 0252.   You may use the Colorado Department of Revenue’s free e-file and account management system, Revenue Online(opens in new window), to file your consumer use tax return.  You do not need to log in to Revenue Online to file a return. 

Revenue Online will let you know which local use taxes are required based on your address and will give you the appropriate tax rates as you go through the return filing.   Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Go to Colorado.gov/Revenue Online(opens in new window).
2. In the “Sales and Use Tax” menu panel, click on “File a Consumer Use Tax Return”
3. Using the drop-down, indicate the time frame when the last purchase being filed for occurred.
4. Read the information on the page. Then click “Continue”
5. Follow the steps to enter your information and file your return.
6. Once you have submitted your return, click the “Make a Payment button”
7. Select the payment type, and follow the steps to make your payment.

So, what you are telling me is that no one in the State of Colorado can use TurboTax to file their state income tax forms if they need to include the Colorado Use Tax.  Is that correct?

[DawnC]

No, you can use TurboTax to file your CO income tax return.   You must file the use tax online through CO Revenue.  There is a video with instructions here.    See DR 0252.    @Mike_G1
