DENVER ( KDVR ) — In two months, Colorado will start to roll out another round of TABOR checks for 2025. However, not everyone will get their checks at the same time.
The refunds stem from the Colorado Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights law , which caps state revenue and requires the excess to be returned to taxpayers. In short, it’s when the state takes in tax revenue beyond the limit and refunds it back.

Because these refunds are based on Colorado taxes, when you receive your TABOR check depends on when you file state income taxes, according to Daniel Carr from the Colorado Department of Revenue .
When will you get your next TABOR refund?
State income taxes can usually be filed starting mid-to-late-January, but even if you file your taxes right away, you won’t get the refund for a few weeks.
Carr said the refund still needs to be processed and sent out. The time it takes to get sent out depends on whether you have the refund deposited electronically or mailed. An electronic deposit takes around two weeks, while a physical check can take longer.
