The Colorado Department of Revenue has announced the extension of the income tax payment deadline by 90 days to July 15.
This extension permits taxpayers to pay any income taxes owed by July 15, without penalties or interest. The extension does not automatically change income tax payments already scheduled to happen on or before April 15.
Coloradans who want to cancel their currently scheduled direct debit payments to take advantage of the deadline extension may do so by emailing the Colorado Department of Revenue at DOR_TaxpayerService@state.co.us.
For expedited processing, taxpayers should put “Request Cancellation of Direct Debit Payment” in the subject line of the email. Once a payment is canceled, it cannot be rescheduled through filing software, and a taxpayer must pay by the extended due date using another method to avoid penalty and interest.
Submit all payment cancellation requests no later than 5 p.m. April 9, not April 13 as previously released. Once a payment has been processed, the state is unable to refund or return the payment.
