The Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Taxation, is seeking public input regarding drafts of the following new income tax rules. The Department has prepared drafts to aid in the process of soliciting public comments.
- Rule 39-22-104(4)(i). Qualified State Tuition Program & ABLE Program Contributions Subtraction. The purpose of this new rule is to clarify requirements and limitations relating to the subtraction allowed to individuals, estates, and trusts for payments and contributions made to a qualified state tuition program or a qualified ABLE program.
- Rule 39-22-539. Credit for Employer Contributions to Employee 529 Qualified State Tuition Programs. The purpose of this new rule is to detail requirements relating to the credit allowed to employers for contributions made to an employee’s 529 qualified state tuition program account.
We do not plan to convene a workgroup meeting for these rules prior to formal rulemaking unless comments indicate one is necessary. In lieu of a workgroup, we would greatly appreciate written feedback on the draft rules. Please submit comments on the draft rules by emailing your comments to dor_taxrules@state.co.us. Written comments will be accepted through May 12, 2023.
After evaluating the comments we receive, the Department will determine whether the draft rules should move forward and, if so, whether further revisions to the rules are necessary. If the Department moves forward with the proposed rules, additional comments will be accepted following a notice of proposed rulemaking. Thank you in advance for your input.
We would appreciate your feedback to help us measure and improve the success of the rulemaking program. If you participate in the rulemaking process, we invite you to complete a short survey.
