You can check the status of your Colorado state tax refund online through the Colorado Department of Revenue's official tool called "Where's My Refund for Individuals." To do this:
- Visit the Revenue Online website at https://tax.colorado.gov/refund or https://www.colorado.gov/revenueonline.
- Select your Account Type and ID Type from the dropdown menus.
- Enter your Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
- Enter the refund amount from your original tax return or use a Letter ID/PIN from any correspondence you received from the department.
- Click "Get My Refund" to view your refund status.
The refund status tool is updated daily, so you can check back regularly
. If you requested direct deposit but have not received your refund, first check with your bank to see if the deposit was made, as electronic transactions may not immediately appear on your statement. If the bank has no record, use the online tool to check your refund status
. Delays can occur due to verification processes, errors on your return, missing information, or fraud prevention measures, which can delay refunds up to 60 days beyond normal processing times
. If you cannot check your refund status online, verify that you entered the correct refund amount and are using the primary SSN for the return. Alternatively, you can use a Letter ID instead of the refund amount. If you receive a letter from the department requesting identity verification, responding promptly will help avoid delays
