tax return

A tax return is a form on which a person or entity reports income, deductions, and exemptions to the federal or state taxing authority (IRS or state tax authority), and on which the person or entity’s income tax liability is calculated.

In Colorado, as in all states, a tax return is a document filed with the state's Department of Revenue and the federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that reports income, deductions, and exemptions. For state taxes, residents and businesses use forms provided by the Colorado Department of Revenue to calculate their state income tax liability. The state tax rate is a flat rate on federal taxable income, with the possibility of various credits and deductions that may apply based on individual circumstances. For federal taxes, the IRS provides a range of forms, such as the 1040 for individuals, which are used to determine federal tax liability based on income, deductions, and credits. Tax returns are typically due annually by April 15th, unless an extension is filed. It's important to note that tax laws can be complex and subject to change, so it may be beneficial to consult with an attorney or tax specialist for specific advice.
