FAQs

How long to get Colorado tax refund?

You can expect to receive your Colorado tax refund within 3-12 weeks after your return is accepted (assuming there are no issues with your return). The fastest way to get your refund is to e-file your Colorado state income tax return and choose direct deposit. However, if your return is incorrect, incomplete, or you filed a paper return, the refund process can take longer.

How to check Colorado tax refund?

You can check your refund online using the “Check My Refund Status” tool on the Colorado Department of Revenue’s website.

When does Colorado release tax refunds?

Colorado processes refunds after returns are received and accepted. While there’s no set issue date for all refunds, most e-filed refunds are issued within a few weeks of filing (paper returns may take several more weeks).
Note that these are general guidelines. Timing may vary depending on the type of return and the volume of returns being processed by the state tax department at the time. If you have waited longer than the expected timeframe and still haven’t received your refund, use your state’s refund status tracking tool (linked above) or contact your state department of taxation using the contact info above.

Why is my Colorado tax refund under manual review?

If your return contains errors, missing information, or is flagged for potential fraud, it may trigger a manual review. Manual reviews take longer to process, which can delay your refund.

Why is my Colorado tax refund being offset?

State refunds can be offset (reduced or withheld) if you owe certain debts, such as unpaid taxes or child support, defaulted student loans, or other unpaid court-ordered debts. Tax agencies have the authority to intercept refunds to pay for certain debts. If you believe your refund offset was done in error, contact your state tax department.

What day are Colorado tax refunds deposited?

There isn’t a fixed “deposit day” for state refunds. Basically, once your refund is approved, Colorado issues it as soon as possible. Direct deposit usually arrives faster than mailed checks, but the exact day varies depending on when you filed and how quickly your return is processed.

Colorado tax brackets

The state of Colorado imposes a flat tax rate on its taxpayer’s income. That means regardless of income level or filing status, all individuals pay the same rate. On the federal side, you need to calculate your federal tax bracket based on your income. If you need help learning how tax brackets work you can read our guide on it.

The tax rate for 2025 is 4.4%.

Filer Type	Tax Rate
Single	4.4%
Married Filing Jointly	4.4%
Married Filing Separately	4.4%
Heads of Household	4.4%

Colorado State tax deductions & credits

Some tax credits are also available for Colorado citizens. For example, the refundable Colorado Child Tax Credit (CTC) is a popular option that allows individuals to receive a credit for qualifying children depending on their adjusted gross income (AGI). If you qualify for the federal CTC, you likely qualify for the Colorado CTC. Other significant tax credits include the Alternative Fuel Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
