Note: The best practice when entering multiple state tax information into TaxSlayer ProWeb is to start with the nonresident return(s) and finish with the resident return. This allows the income tax data from the nonresident state(s) to transfer to the resident return.
Colorado residents may claim a nonrefundable credit for taxes paid to another state. The income must be taxed by both jurisdictions. This credit is for state income taxes imposed on a taxpayer's income and does not include local government tax or foreign tax.
Before starting the Colorado return, prepare the nonresident return(s). Once all nonresident returns are finished, create the Colorado resident return and ProWeb will automatically calculate the credit based on the nonresident return information.
If the Colorado return is for a part-year resident, print a copy of the nonresident return(s) to refer to when entering the information for the credit.
To enter or adjust the credit for taxes paid to another state in the Colorado individual tax return in ProWeb, from the Colorado Return menu select:
- Credits
- Credit for Taxes Paid to Another State
