What income level justifies filing of a Colorado estate (fiduciary) income tax return? A Colorado Fiduciary Income Tax Return (Form 105) is required, if either a federal Fiduciary Income Tax Return (Form 1041) is required, or, if there is Colorado fiduciary income tax due. When is the final Colorado income tax return due for someone who has died? Simple. The final individual or personal income tax is due on the same day if the taxpayer had not died. Thus, if someone dies on January 1, 2022, the final Colorado Form 104 will be due on April 17th, 2023. When is the Colorado estate (fiduciary) income tax return due for someone who has died? We have run into quite a few people who get incorrect advice on this! Lets first answer the question, "When does the first tax year end for an estate?" The latest that it can end is the latest end of the month such that the tax year does not exceed a year. Example, if someone dies on June 15, 2022, the latest end of the estate tax year would be May 31, 2023. There are some complex reasons why one might want to end the year sooner. Ending the year sooner might result in some tax savings. The Colorado estate (fiduciary) income tax return is due on the 15th day of the 4th month after the end of the year. If the year ends on December 31, 2022, the due date is April 17, 2023. If the year ends on January 31, 2022, the due date is May 15, 2023. Colorado Form 105, Colorado Fiduciary Income Tax Return, is the Colorado form for estate income taxes. How much tax do you pay on inheritance? This really depends on the individual circumstances.
