HB 18-1144

House Bill 18-1144 updates how Colorado's Department of Revenue provides information about average taxes paid. Instead of mailing a booklet to each taxpayer, the department now makes it available at local libraries and online on their website. The bill also ensures that this tax information is accessible through any software taxpayers use to file their income taxes electronically. Since the bill has been signed into law, these changes are now in effect, meaning taxpayers can find the required information more easily through various channels provided by the Department of Revenue.

Official Summary

Statutory Revision Committee. Current law requires the department of revenue (department) to provide the 'Disclosure of Average Taxes Paid' table to taxpayers in the income tax booklet that the department mails to the taxpayer. However, the department no longer mails the income tax booklet to each individual taxpayer, instead making a physical copy available a local libraries and allowing the booklet to be downloaded from the department's website. The bill changes the reference of 'mails to' to 'provides for' in order to reflect current practices. Current law also requires the department to make the table available through the 'NetFile' link on the department's website. Since that link is no longer available, the bill removes the reference to that specific link and instead refers in general to the department's website and also requires the department to provide the table on the software platform that the department makes available to taxpayers to file individual income taxes. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.) , Read More
