Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR)

For one year only (2023), TABOR state sales tax refunds claimed on income tax returns, or PTC applications, will provide an equal refund of $800 for all qualifying individuals ($1,600 for two qualifying individuals filing jointly).

  • You must file a Colorado state income tax return (DR0104) or a PTC Rebate application to receive your TABOR rebate.

    There are two filing deadlines for the rebate:

    April 15, 2024, if you:

    • Were at least 18 years old when the tax year began,

    • Do not have a Colorado income tax liability, and

    • Are not claiming a refund of wage withholding.

    October 15, 2024, if you:

    • Have a Colorado income tax liability, or

    • Claim a refund of wage withholding.

  • A qualifying Colorado resident can receive a refund of $800. Two qualifying individuals filing jointly can receive $1,600.
