Error in Turbotax calculation for Colorado sales tax refund

I was working on my grandson's taxes and the software calculated he would get the $800.00 refund for sales tax for all Colorado residents over the age of 18.  He is only 17.  Had I not looked up the qualification requirements I would not have known this and would have expected he would receive the refund.  This also happened last year but I did not report it to you.  I only found out because I filed the Colorado return directly on their site since it is free, and the refund/rebate was not calculated.

 

I feel an update should be made to the software to avoid further confusion

 

Thank you

Error in Turbotax calculation for Colorado sales tax refund

The Colorado instructions also say, "If you are a full-year Colorado resident who was under 18 as of January 1, 2023, you may claim the state sales tax refund only if you have a Colorado tax liability (line 14 must be greater than 0) or you are claiming a refund of Colorado wage withholding on a W-2." See instructions for line 34, on page 9.

 

Is it possible that one of these applied to your grandson?
