I am filing my taxes for the state of colorado. I need to include the portion of wages the I earned from Colorado. Will this be the same number as my federal wage?

If you lived and worked in Colorado all year, then the federal wages and state wages should be the same.  If you only worked part of the time in Colorado, you would need to allocate the federal wage amount between (for example) 2 states.  If you worked in Colorado for 6 months and another state for 6 months, then 1/2 of your federal wages would be taxable in Colorado.
