Colorado Fiduciary Income Tax Return
This filing guide will assist you with completing the Colorado Fiduciary Income Tax Return, form DR 0105. Please read through this guide before starting your return. Once you have all of the information for your return, file it with a computer, smartphone or tablet using our free and secure system at Colorado.gov/RevenueOnline. You may also file using private e-File software or a paid tax preparer. Filing electronically significantly reduces the chance of errors. If you cannot file electronically, mail your return as instructed.
Filing Requirements
Generally, you must file a Colorado fiduciary income tax return for: • A resident estate or trust, or • A nonresident estate or trust with income from Colorado sources; That also: • Is required to file a federal income tax return for the tax year, including an information return such as Form 5227 or 1041A, or • Has a Colorado tax liability. Resident Estate or Trust A resident estate is an estate of a deceased person which is administered in Colorado in any manner other than by an ancillary proceeding. A resident trust is any trust which is administered in Colorado. Nonresident Estate or Trust A nonresident estate or trust is an estate or trust that is not a resident estate or trust. Use Schedule E to apportion the Colorado tax in the ratio of the Colorado taxable income to the modified federal taxable income. Deceased Person If you are an executor or administrator required to file a federal income tax return for a deceased person who was a Colorado resident or a nonresident with Colorado-source income, you must also file a Colorado income tax return. To request a final determination of tax liability, submit form DR 0253 separately from the return. Supporting Documentation Please ensure that you submit any supporting forms, schedules, and documentation as requested in the instructions. Submitting incomplete documentation will delay the processing of your return. All Colorado tax forms and guidance publications are available at our official website, Tax.Colorado.gov. The Department currently does not have a Colorado K-1 form for an estate or trust to report items allocated to beneficiaries. If the estate or trust is a partner in a partnership or shareholder in an S corporation, you must submit a copy of any form DR 0106K with the DR 0105. Bankruptcy Estate Submit the DR 0105 with supporting documentation for the estate only. The debtor is required to file an individual tax return for Colorado income on form DR 0104, but do not submit the DR 0104 with the estate return. DR 0105 is not used as a transmittal form for the debtor's DR 0104.
Due Date You must file this return and pay any amount due by the fifteenth day of the fourth month following the close of the taxable year, which is April 15 for calendar year filers. For filing there is an automatic extension of six months, or until October 15 for calendar year filers, but no extension is available for payment. Use form DR 0158-F to make an extension payment before filing. If the due date or extension date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, filing or payment will be due the next business day.
Estimated Tax Payments
Estimated tax payments are not required for a fiduciary return. However, if you want to make estimated payments, see the payment options available at Colorado.gov/RevenueOnline or mail a check or money order with form DR 0105EP. Amending Your Return You can report a change or correction to your return at Colorado.gov/RevenueOnline, even if you filed the original return on paper. To amend a fiduciary return on paper, complete a new DR 0105 and mark the Amended Return box at the top of the form. You must amend your Colorado return to report any change to an item or amount determined under the Internal Revenue Code that is used to compute Colorado income tax.

File and Pay You may file this return and pay any tax due using our free and secure system at Colorado.gov/RevenueOnline. If you mail your return with a check or money order, send it to: Denver, CO 80261-0006 If you mail your return without a check or money order, send it to: Denver, CO 80261-0005 These ZIP codes are only used by the Department of Revenue, so a street address is not required.
DR 0105 Instructions First, complete the federal income tax return. You will use information from that form to complete this Colorado return. Taxpayer Information Enter the following information in the provided fields. • Fiscal year beginning and ending dates if the tax year is not a calendar year. You must use the same tax year for Colorado as for federal tax purposes; • Mark if this is a final or amended return; • Name of Estate or Trust; • Name of Fiduciary; • Colorado Account Number (CAN) if assigned. For a fiduciary taxpayer, this eight-digit number is assigned after the first Colorado return is filed. Entering it will speed up processing of the return; • Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN); • Date Estate or Trust Created; • Mailing Address, for the Department to mail letters regarding your income tax account; and • Mark whether the estate or trust will distribute more than $1,000 in Colorado-source income for the tax year to nonresident beneficiaries. Line 1 Federal Taxable Income Enter the federal taxable income of the estate or trust. If the federal taxable income is a negative amount, enter the amount as negative on your Colorado return. On a paper return, put the negative amount in parentheses, for example ($1,234). Line 2 Business Meals Deduction Addback Enter the full amount of any deduction claimed for business meals pursuant to section 274(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Line 3 Other Additions to Federal Taxable Income Enter the sum of any other required additions, including but not limited to, the following: • Any state income tax claimed as a deduction in computing federal taxable income. • Any interest income accrued or received during the taxable year on obligations of any state or subdivision thereof other than obligations of the State of Colorado or a subdivision thereof. The amount of interest entered shall be net of any bond premium amortization and any expenses required to be allocated to such interest income under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. • Any charitable deduction taken on the federal return for a gross conservation easement that has also been claimed for a Colorado tax credit. Complete the DR 1305 Part D. Line 4 Net Additions Sum of lines 2 and 3. Line 5 Colorado Marijuana and Natural Medicine Business Deduction For Colorado-licensed marijuana or natural medicine businesses, enter any expenditure that is eligible to be claimed as a federal income tax deduction but is disallowed by section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code because marijuana and natural medicine are controlled substances under federal law. To calculate this deduction, you must create pro forma federal schedule(s) for Business Profit or Loss as if the federal government would have allowed the expenditures from the marijuana or natural medicine business. The Colorado deduction is the difference between the profit or loss as calculated
on the actual schedule(s) filed with the federal return and the pro forma schedule(s) described above. You must submit the pro forma schedule(s), and the actual federal schedule(s), and your license number from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) or Natural Medicine Division (NMD) with your Colorado return.

The amount of the subtraction that may be applied toward tax year 2021 and to each year thereafter is subject to certain limitations. Any amount of the allowable subtraction that a taxpayer may not claim as a result of these limitation may be carried forward to subsequent tax years as a subtraction from the taxpayer's federal taxable income until exhausted. The subtraction that may be claimed on a taxpayer's 2024 return cannot exceed $150,000. Please see the CARES Act guidance publication available at Line 7 Net Subtractions Sum of lines 5 and 6.

These modifications should be allocated to the beneficiaries using the (beneficiary) "subtotal" percentage from Schedule B. Enter the balance of the modifications, if any, on line 10. Where the allocation of the modifications as given in the instructions for line 10 would produce a result that is substantially inequitable, the fiduciary may (with permission from the Department) use such other method of allocation of all or a part of such modifications that will produce a fair and equitable result to both the fiduciary and the beneficiaries. Line 11 Colorado Taxable Income Add line 1 to line 10 and enter the result. If the result is a negative amount, enter the amount as negative on your Colorado return.

Line 25 Innovative Motor Vehicle and Innovative Truck Credit for a Vehicle You Purchased or Leased Enter the total from form DR 0617 line 10. For more information, refer to the Department guidance publications regarding these credits. For each vehicle or truck for which you are claiming a credit, you must submit with your return: • A completed DR 0617; • A copy of the purchase invoice or lease agreement; and • Proof of permanent Colorado registration. If you assigned the credit to a financing entity or motor vehicle dealer, you cannot claim the credit. If you are a motor vehicle dealer or financing entity with assigned credits, use form DR 0619 and line 34 below instead. Line 26 Business Personal Property Credit If the estate or trust paid business personal property tax in 2024, calculate and claim this credit as follows. Real property (real estate) is not eligible for this credit. 1. Either find the actual value of the business personal property on the assessor statement, or find the assessed value and assessment rate and use this formula: Actual Value = Assessed Value / Assessment Rate The assessment rates for tax year 2023 paid in 2024 are 26.4% (0.264) for agricultural or renewable energy production property or 27.9% (0.279) for all other nonresidential property. For example, an assessed value of $6,975 divided by an assessment rate of 27.9% would determine an actual value of $25,000. If the estate or trust was a partner or shareholder in a partnership or S corporation that paid business personal property tax, it must include in this calculation its distributive or pro rata share of the total actual value of the personal property on which the partnership or S corporation paid the tax. 2. Determine the credit amount, which is equal to the tax on up to $18,000 of the actual value of the business personal property. a. If the actual value is less than or equal to $18,000, the credit is equal to the tax assessment. b. If the actual value is more than $18,000, use this formula: Credit = (18,000 / Actual Value) * Tax Assessment For example, if a trust's share of the actual value is $25,000 and its share of the tax assessment is $2,000, then $18,000 divided by an actual value of $25,000 and multiplied by a $2,000 tax assessment would result in a credit of $1,440. If the estate or trust was a partner or shareholder in a partnership or S corporation that paid business personal property tax, it must include in this calculation its distributive or pro rata share of the business personal property tax paid by the partnership or S corporation. Line 27 Refundable Renewable Energy Tax Credit Enter the amount of refundable renewable energy tax credit from the DR 1366 line 28. You must submit the DR 1366 and a copy of each certificate with your return. The Department strongly recommends electronic filing for taxpayers with enterprise zone credits.

Line 28 Refundable CHIPS Zone Credit Enter the amount of refundable CHIPS Zone tax credit(s) from the DR 1370 line 24. You must submit the DR 1370 and a copy of each certificate with your return.

Line 29 SALT Parity Election If this estate or trust is a partner or a shareholder in a partnership or S corporation that makes an election under the SALT Parity Act, and pays Colorado income tax, the credit allowed to this estate or trust under section 39-22-347, C.R.S., is reported on this line 29. Also include on line 29 any SALT Parity credit from a lower-tier partnership reported on line 25 of the Colorado K-1 issued to this estate or trust. Include copies of those Colorado K-1 forms with this return. Line 30 Credit for Conversion Costs to an Employee-Owned Business Model Enter the amount of the conversion to an employee-owned business model tax credit. You must submit the credit certificate from OEDIT with your return. Line 31 Alternative Transportation Options Credit An income tax credit is available to certain employers that provide alternative transportation options to their employees working in Colorado for going to and returning from their places of employment.

Schedule A Enter the names and addresses of the beneficiaries. Use lines (a) through (e) for resident beneficiaries and lines (f) through (j) for nonresident beneficiaries. Schedule B Calculate the percentage share of the federal distributable net income for each beneficiary and the fiduciary. Use the same line numbers for the beneficiaries as on Schedule A, with lines (a) through (e) for resident beneficiaries and lines (f) through (j) for nonresident beneficiaries. Schedule C Schedule C is used to determine what part of the nonresident beneficiary's or beneficiaries' federal distributable net income is from Colorado-sources. This percentage is to be used in allocating the net estate or trust income reportable to Colorado by nonresident beneficiaries in Schedule D. Enter in column 1 the component parts of the federal distributable net income. Enter in column 2 that part of each item from column 1 that is from Colorado-sources. Interest and dividend income will not be considered to be from Colorado-sources except where they arise from assets that have acquired a business situs in Colorado. Pension income is not considered to be Colorado-source income for a nonresident estate or trust. Expenses claimed on lines 10 through 15 of federal Form 1041 will be Colorado or non-Colorado expenses depending on the source of the income to which they are assigned by the fiduciary for federal income tax purposes. Schedule D Schedule D is for the determination of the resident beneficiaries' share of the Colorado fiduciary adjustment, and the determination of the net estate or trust income reportable to Colorado by nonresident beneficiaries. Enter in column 1 the Social Security number of each resident beneficiary. Enter in column 2 for each resident beneficiary, the income reported on his/her federal individual income tax return as being from this estate or trust. Enter in column 3 for each resident beneficiary, his/her percentage of the federal distributable net income as determined in Schedule B. The Colorado fiduciary adjustment is divided among the beneficiaries and the fiduciary in proportion to their share of the federal distributable net income. Enter in column 4 each resident beneficiary's share of the Colorado fiduciary adjustment computed by applying the percentage in column 3 to the net adjustment as shown on line 6, page 1 of the return. If there is no federal distributable net income, each beneficiary's share of the Colorado fiduciary adjustment shall be in proportion to his/her share of the estate or trust income distributed or required to be distributed. Any balance of the Colorado fiduciary adjustment will be allocated to the fiduciary. Advise each beneficiary of his/her share of the Colorado fiduciary adjustment. Enter in column 5 the Social Security number of each nonresident beneficiary.
Enter in column 6 for each nonresident beneficiary, his/her share of the federal distributable net income of the estate or trust. Enter in column 7 for each nonresident beneficiary, the percentage of federal distributable net income of the estate or trust determined to be from Colorado-sources. This determination is made in Schedule C. Enter in column 8 for each nonresident beneficiary, that part of his/her federal distributable net income from this estate or trust that is from Colorado-sources determined by applying the percentage in column 7 to the income in column 6. If any other method is used to determine the beneficiary's income from Colorado-sources, include a comprehensive explanation. Enter in column 9 for each nonresident beneficiary, 4.25% of his/her Colorado-source income as listed in column 8. This is the amount to be withheld from the distribution to the beneficiary and paid to the State of Colorado as estimated tax in the name of the beneficiary on Form 104BEP. Round all amounts to the nearest dollar. Schedule E Schedule E is used to compute the tax of a part-year or nonresident estate or trust. Fiduciaries of part-year or nonresident estates or trusts shall compute a tentative tax as though the estate or trust were a resident estate or trust. The actual tax shall be the tentative tax apportioned in the ratio of the Colorado taxable income to the modified federal taxable income. First complete lines 1 through 11 of the DR 0105 in accordance with the instructions given for full-year resident estates and trusts. Then complete lines 1 through 3 of the federal column of Schedule E using the information from the federal Form 1041. Complete the federal column using the modifications from line 10 of the DR 0105. On line 1 of Schedule E, Colorado column, enter the Colorado-source income of the estate or trust. Expenses shall follow the income to which they were assigned for federal income tax purposes by the fiduciary. The distribution deduction and the exemption deduction shall be allowed on line 2 of the Colorado column in the ratio of the federal distributable net income from Colorado-sources over the total federal distributable net income. Include the state tax deduction addback modification relating to prior years and the state tax refund subtraction modification in the Colorado column in the ratio that the estate or trust income was Colorado-source income for the year to which the deduction or the refund applies. For example, if the fiduciary paid $2,000 state tax during 2024 for 2023, and the 2023 estate or trust income was 40% Colorado-source, include 40% or $800 on line 4 of the Colorado column. DO NOT include the state tax deduction addback modification relating to taxes paid for the current year on line 4 of either column. Complete Schedule E in accordance with the instructions given on the form. Schedule F Schedule F is used to compute the alternative minimum tax. The Colorado Alternative Minimum Tax is the amount by which 3.47% of the Colorado alternative minimum taxable income exceeds the normal tax. The Colorado alternative minimum taxable income is the federal alternative minimum taxable income minus the federal AMT exemption and plus the modifications from line 10 of the DR 0105. Do not include modifications that duplicate adjustments made in arriving at federal alternative taxable income. Resident estates and trusts complete only lines 1 through 4 of the federal column and lines 7 and 8 of the Colorado column. Line 1 may be a negative amount.
The alternative minimum tax for nonresident estates and trusts is apportioned in the ratio of Coloradosource modified federal alternative minimum taxable income to the total modified federal alternative minimum taxable income. Complete lines 1 through 4 of the federal column as though the estate or trust were a resident estate or trust. In computing the amount to enter on line 1, Colorado column, the Colorado-source total income and the Colorado-source allowable deductions shall be as reported on lines 1 and 2 of Schedule E, Colorado column. The federal adjustments and tax preference items shall be allocated to Colorado to the extent they relate to a business being carried out in Colorado or to income from Colorado-sources. The alternative tax net operating loss deduction shall be allowed to the extent it was from Coloradosources in the year in which it arose. The income distribution deduction, the estate tax deduction and the federal alternative minimum tax exemption deduction are allowed in the ratio of the Colorado-source federal distributable net alternative minimum taxable income to the total federal distributable net alternative minimum taxable income. Schedule G Schedule G is used to compute any Fiduciary Tax Credits. Limitation: The credits reported on this Schedule G are nonrefundable. Consequently, the total credits utilized from this schedule may not exceed the total tax reported on line 14 of your income tax return, the DR 0105. Enter on lines 5 through 13 the amount(s) of the credit(s) available in Column A and the amount of credit(s) to be applied against your 2024 liability in Column B. Most unused 2024 credits can be carried forward to tax year 2025. Line 1 Credit for Tax Paid to Another State A resident estate or trust may claim credit for income tax paid to another state on income from sources in that state, including the District of Columbia and territories or possessions of the United States. Income from intangible assets, such as interest, dividends and gains or losses from the sale or exchange of securities, unless from a business carried out in the other state, is not considered to be from sources in the other state. The credit must be claimed on the accrual basis and is limited to the Colorado tax attributable to such income. If taxes were paid to two or more states, a separate credit must be computed for each state. The total credit for taxes paid to other states may not exceed the Colorado tax attributable to non-Coloradosource income. The Department strongly recommends electronic filing for taxpayers with credits for more than one state. Failure to file electronically may result in delays processing your return. If income and/or losses are received from two or more other states: 1. Complete lines 1(a) through 1(h) for each state to which taxes are paid, and 2. Complete lines 1(a) through 1(h) (enter "Combined" as name of state) combining all tax paid, income, and losses from all other states to determine the maximum credit available. 3. The credit will be the lesser of the total credits computed for each state in step 1, or the credit limitation computed in step 2. Both calculations will be submitted with your return. Submit a copy of the tax return filed with the other state(s) at Colorado.gov/RevenueOnline or submit with the DR 1778. If you file a paper return, you must submit the returns, from another state or states, with your Colorado return. Line 2 Dual-Resident Trust Credit A credit is available to a qualifying trust that is a resident trust in both Colorado and another state. Submit a copy of the tax return filed with the other state at Colorado.gov/RevenueOnline or submit with form DR 1778. If you file a paper return, you must submit the return(s) from another state or states with your Colorado return. Additional guidance is available online at
Line 3 Alternative Minimum Tax Credit Estates and trusts are allowed a credit of 12% of the federal alternative minimum tax credit for the same taxable year. Part-year/nonresident estates and trusts must apportion this credit in the ratio that the modified federal alternative minimum taxable income that gave rise to the prior year federal alternative minimum tax was considered Colorado alternative minimum taxable income. For example, if a nonresident estate's 2023 federal alternative minimum taxable income was 30% Colorado-source, its credit would be 30% of 12% of the 2024 credit allowed for 2023 minimum tax. Line 4 Subtotal of Credits Unavailable for Carryforward Sum of lines 1(h), 2(e) and 3. Lines 5 through 13 Other Credits Enter on lines 5 through 13 any other credit being claimed.

Line 10 Credit for employer paid leave of absence for live organ donation An income tax credit is available for employers who incurred expenses during the tax year by paying an employee during his or her leave of absence period (not to exceed ten working days or the hourly equivalent of ten working days per employee) for live organ donation and for the cost of temporary replacement help, if any, during an employee's leave of absence period. The amount of credit allowed is 35% of eligible expenses, as defined in statute.(§39-22-540, C.R.S.). You may not claim a tax credit related to a leave of absence period for an employee who you pay $80,000 or more in wages during the income tax year. Review the instructions on form DR 0375 for more information. You must submit the DR 0375 with your return. Line 11 Nonrefundable Residential Energy Storage Systems Credit A nonrefundable income tax credit is available for building owners who install qualifying residential energy storage systems into residential buildings in Colorado and who do not assign the credit to the seller. The amount of the credit that exceeds the building owner's income tax due is not refunded and may not be carried forward to any future years' income tax due. The amount of the credit is the amount calculated on Line 3 of the Residential Energy Storage System Credit Eligibility Certification and Assignment Election (DR 1307). Submit the DR 1307 when claiming this credit. Line 12 Enterprise Zone Contribution Credit Submit a copy of the credit certificate.
