DR 0204 (08/14/23) COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE Denver CO 80261-0005 Tax.Colorado.gov *DO=NOT=SEND* Tax Year Ending Computation of Penalty Due Based on Underpayment of Colorado Individual Estimated Tax Instructions for DR 0204 Calculation of underestimated penalty (UEP) can be difficult. We strongly recommend filing electronically or consulting a tax professional to reduce the likelihood of errors. Review the Individual Income Tax Guide available at Tax.Colorado.gov for additional information regarding the underpayment of Colorado individual estimated tax. Part 1: Generally you are subject to an estimated tax penalty if your current year estimated tax payments are not paid in a timely manner. The estimated tax penalty will not be assessed if either of the exceptions are met. Part 2: The required annual amount to be paid is the lesser of: • 70% of actual current year net Colorado tax liability, or • 100% of preceding year’s net Colorado tax liability (This amount only applies if the preceding year was a 12-month tax year, and the individual filed a Colorado return, and the federal adjusted gross income for the preceding year was $150,000 or less, or $75,000 or less if married filing separate.), or • 110% of preceding year’s net Colorado tax liability. (This amount only applies if the preceding year was a 12-month tax year and the individual filed a Colorado return.) Part 3: If no exception applies to you, compute your penalty on lines 7 through 19 of DR 0204. Complete each column before going on to the next column. Allocate estimated tax payment on line 8. The amount entered on line 10 is the net overpayment from the preceding period. On line 17, if the payment was made prior to January 1 enter “0.” If the tax return is filed and any tax due is paid by January 31 no penalty will be computed in column four. Estimated tax payments from a farmer or fisherman are due in a single payment by January 15 and only column four is used to compute the penalty. If the due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, payment will be due the next business day. Part 4: Taxpayers who do not receive income evenly during the year may elect to use the annualized income installment method to compute their estimated tax payments if they elect annualized installments for the payment of their federal income tax. Complete the annualized installment method schedule to compute the amounts to enter on line 7. This form should be included with your completed DR 0104 form.

Form DR 0204 is a Colorado Individual Income Tax form. While most taxpayers have income taxes automatically withheld every pay period by their employer, taxpayers who earn money that is not subject to withholding (such as self employed income, investment returns, etc) are often required to make estimated tax payments on a quarterly basis. Failure to make correct estimated payments can result in interest or penalties.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
