Questions

Colorado tax FAQs

10 answers about taxes in Colorado.

Do you prepare Colorado state tax returns?

Yes. We prepare resident, part-year and nonresident Colorado returns and file them with the Colorado Department of Revenue, together with your federal return.

When are Colorado individual returns due?

Many states follow the federal April 15 deadline, but some set their own dates. We track the Colorado Department of Revenue deadlines for you and file extensions when they are needed.

Does Colorado have a sales tax?

Yes. Colorado charges sales tax, and local rates can add to the state rate. We help Colorado businesses register, collect the right rate and file returns with the Colorado Department of Revenue.

What payroll registrations does a Colorado employer need?

Employers generally register with Colorado for unemployment insurance and state income tax withholding, plus any other state payroll programs that apply. We handle the registrations and the ongoing filings.

Do I need to make Colorado estimated tax payments?

If you have income without enough withholding, such as self-employment or investment income, Colorado generally expects estimated payments during the year, with its own thresholds and due dates. We calculate federal and state payments together.

How are LLCs and corporations taxed in Colorado?

Colorado applies its own rules to LLCs, S corporations and C corporations, and in some cases charges franchise, gross receipts or minimum taxes regardless of profit. We review how your entity is treated in Colorado before you form it or make an election.

I moved into or out of Colorado. What do I file?

Usually a part-year return for each state you lived in during the year, with credits so the same income is not taxed twice. Our multi-state filing service handles this.

Can you represent me with the Colorado Department of Revenue?

Yes. In addition to IRS matters, we respond to notices and audits from the Colorado Department of Revenue when you authorize us to.

Can a Colorado business work with BATS remotely?

Yes. We work with Colorado businesses through video meetings, secure document upload and cloud accounting software, so there is no need to visit an office.

Which Colorado cities do you serve?

We have dedicated pages for Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, Boulder, and we work with clients anywhere in Colorado.
