TABOR refund: Colorado taxpayers can anticipate a TABOR refund when the state collects more tax revenue than permitted under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR). In 2024, the refund amounted to $800 for single filers and $1,600 for joint filers.
These refunds are based on revenue collected above the TABOR limit, ensuring that any excess revenue is returned to taxpayers when state or local government collections exceed the prescribed threshold for the year.
