In major last-minute course correction, Colorado Democrats move to issue $2 billion in flat-rate taxpayer refund checks
Single filers would get $650 under the proposed change, while joint filers would get $1,300 — proposal hinges on a separate property tax relief ballot measure passing in November Colorado taxpayers would receive a refund check of roughly $650 or $1,300 next year from the state under a last-minute bill introduced Saturday by Democrats in the legislature. The measure deviates from the current plan to distribute about $2 billion in Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights refunds in checks based on taxpayers’ income level, with more money being sent to higher earners.
