Department of Revenue announces tax relief for those impacted by southwestern Colorado flooding

Department waiving penalties, offering tax extensions

Posted

Following the recent flooding in southwestern Colorado, the Department of Revenue is helping affected businesses by offering tax extensions.

More time to file and pay taxes

The Department of Revenue extended the deadlines for some state tax filings to Dec. 31. This applies to sales taxes that are due on Nov. 20 and Dec. 20.

Taxpayers can ask for penalty waivers for other taxes and fees due during November, including, for example, marijuana, fuel and the retailer delivery fee, by contacting the department. Taxpayers affected by the floods have until Dec. 31, 2026, to file these taxes. This relief is for state taxes only. It does not apply in cities or counties that collect their own taxes.

How to get help

The department will not automatically apply this tax deadline waiver. Eligible taxpayers must call to request an extension of the deadline after receiving a bill. To make a request, please call the Department of Revenue at (303) 238-SERV (7378). Hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
