You should only enter dates you lived in Colorado if you were a part-year resident. Part-year residents do not qualify for the sales tax refund, and it sound like you were a full year resident. Delete the entries, and make sure you have selected resident. This can be seen as soon as you start your Colorado return.
Next, continue through the state screens until you arrive at Qualifying for the Colorado state sales tax refund page, select No, if that is accurate. (You can't have been incarcerated in Colorado for 180 days or more during the tax year and qualify for TABOR.) Lastly, select Yes on the Qualifying for the Colorado sales tax refund screen to indicate you will file your tax return on or before the extended due date of 10/15/25. If you qualify, the You're getting the Colorado sales tax refund! screen should generate. Select Continue to move on with your return.
