Governor Jared Polis and the Colorado Department of Revenue (CDOR) encouraged Coloradans to file taxes by June 30, 2022. Those who file before that date will receive the Colorado Cashback refund this summer. “I urge all Coloradans to complete their state tax filing right away so you can get the Colorado Cashback rebate on time this summer,” said Polis.

The governor continues, “we are providing immediate relief, putting money back into the pockets of hardworking Coloradans to help pay for everyday items, and everyone who filed by June 30th will get either the $750 or $1,500 return this summer.” Those who wait past June 30th or until the final extension deadline of mid-October, probably won’t get their refund until next January 2023.

To receive the refund in August, full-year residents must either file a Colorado individual income tax return for the 2021 tax year or apply for the 2021 Property Tax/Rent/Heat Rebate Credit (PTC) by June 30, 2022. Taxpayers who don’t file a return by June 30 can still file on extension before Oct. 17, 2022. Those who file on extension in October can expect to receive their refund check in January 2023.

18 years old and over

Every full-year Colorado resident who was at least 18 years old on December 31, 2021 should file a Colorado return to claim the Colorado Cashback Rebate even if they did not have taxable income. On average, about 90% of filers file on time by April 15, with the remaining 10% filing by the extended deadline of October 15. Those who filed by April 15th do not need to take any additional action and will receive their refund later this summer.

Correct address

The Department of Revenue would also like to remind taxpayers to make sure they have a current and correct address on record with the Department, as the refunds will be mailed.
