IRS tells Coloradans to hold off on filing as it considers taxing TABOR refund
The IRS says our TABOR refunds may be subject to income tax. It’s asking Coloradans to hold off on filing their taxes until it makes a determination.
If you received a TABOR refund last year, you might owe federal taxes on that money.

TABOR Turns 30: Thirty Years of Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights
This month marks the 30th anniversary of Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), which was approved by voters in November of 1992 as a constitutional tax and expenditure limit (TEL). TABOR is considered the gold standard of state fiscal rules because it limits the growth of most of Colorado’s spending and revenue to inflation plus population. If the state government collects more tax dollars than TABOR allows, the money is returned to taxpayers as a TABOR refund. The receipt of tax rebates, totaling $8.2 billion since TABOR passed in 1992, has strengthened Colorado citizens’ confidence in the TABOR Amendment over the years. To learn more about TABOR and effective TELs, read our latest report and visit FiscalRules.org.
