Haven't filed your state taxes yet? Remember to opt in to TABOR refund

It's April 15th, commonly known as Tax Day! If you're unable to file your federal taxes by today, you can request a six-month extension by completing a Form 4868. Remember, this extension is only for filing paperwork, not for delaying your tax payment. For more details, visit IRS.gov.

SOUTHERN COLORADO — If you still need to file your state taxes, there is one key step to keep in mind to make sure you are getting all your money returned.

While we are all excited to get a piece of the expected $1.4 billion in TABOR refunds, not everyone is getting it this year because they forgot to check the box to opt in.

As long as you check that box, your TABOR refund will come the same way your state refund will.

If you already filed and did not check the TABOR box, you will need to file an amended state return to make the claim.
