Question

Colorado: no out-of state sales reporting for the tax year 2024?

Hello.

During the previous a few years, when filing the Colorado state taxes, I had to provide the total amount of my purchases made outside of Colorado for which I didn't pay a Colorado sales tax.

This year, however, I didn't see this question. I tried to find it but no luck.

My question is if anyone knows that it was removed from the process this year? Or I just wasn't able to find it and therefore my tax return is inaccurate?

Thank you.

Colorado says on the first page of the Colorado Book, "DR 0104US has been discontinued, use DR 0252 Consumer Use Tax Return instead."

Elsewhere, the state says,

"File Consumer Use Tax Return With a Printed Form

Complete the Consumer Use Tax Return Form (DR 0252(opens in new window)) in its entirety, print out the completed form, and mail with payment to:

Colorado Department of Revenue

Denver, CO 80261-0013"

So it looks like paying the Use tax is no longer a part of the state income tax return, hence why the question is no longer asked in TurboTax.

Thank you for this information.

Looks like reporting the use tax should still happen by sending them that DR 0252 form?

And if this reporting is not a part of the state tax return, do they expect us to report that in addition to the tax filing?

If you owe Colorado Use Tax, then the return needs to be filed and the taxes paid by April 15th, according to the instructions for Form DR0252.
