About the Reports
Voluntary contributions are donations to charitable organizations that taxpayers can choose to make using all or part of their state individual income tax return refund. Per §39-22-1001(9), C.R.S. the Colorado Department of Revenue is required to “post and periodically update on its official website the amount of donations received for each voluntary contribution appearing on the Colorado state individual income tax form.” The amount of donations received for each voluntary contribution (formerly known as checkoffs) appearing on the current Colorado Individual Income Tax Return between January 1st and September 30th of each year shall be a factor in determining each voluntary contribution's eligibility for inclusion on subsequent Individual Income Tax Returns. Monthly voluntary contribution amounts donated between January through September are provided for 2017 through 2022. Starting in 2023, quarterly voluntary contribution amounts to date are provided.
