A Colorado income tax account is created for the taxpayer the first time an income tax return is filed with the Department of Revenue. The Department establishes an eight-digit Colorado Account Number (CAN) which should be used on all future income tax filings. If a corporation also has an eight-digit CAN for a sales tax license/account or a wage withholding account, that is the same number that should be used on the income tax return.
