E-Filer Attachment Form - Charitable Contributions

[staz1]

I totally agree, and mine were very similar to last year. I went ahead and uploaded just to cover my bases. Here is the link for e-filers to submit additional documentation:

Are you sure the receipt requirement applies to all charitable contributions?  Colorado's own 2024 form 104 instruction book (which is referenced in the document you linked to) states the following in regards to line 12 for Charitable Contributions:

"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 include with your paper return. Do not send receipts of items that were purchased for donation."

Nothing else about receipts is mentioned in the form 104 instructions.  It seems pretty clear that this should only apply to claims greater than $5000.  Is there some other source that turbotax based their decision to alert users that the e-filer attachment form and substantiation is required for subtractions less than $5000?

The instructions linked by RobertB4444 state that "taxpayers may be required to submit documentation".  It does not denote when they must submit documentation.  As @aaustinf notes, the instructions for form 104 indicate claims over $5000 need documentation.  This is still a bit unclear as it does not state if that is a single donation over $5000, or total donations over $5000.

I went to the Colorado Revenue site and see that my return was received and accepted.  I tried to find a link to send my contribution backup documents to and I got a message saying that nothing is required of me.

I will wait and see if they ask for it later and then I'll give an update here.  But as for now, the state does need anything from me regarding our contributions.
