    The following TurboTax help article will give you more details, but the state of Colorado is not yet accepting tax returns for processing.  They have been delayed.  Your return will be transmitted as soon as the state is ready to accepts returns.

     

    When will I be able to file my Colorado state return?

    They still haven't even started processing e-files, completely unacceptable as its already Feb 13th...

    I submitted mine, right away it said I had a problem with my PIN, so I fixed that and resubmitted Federal and Colorado State.  Federal took it instantly, but now CO says pending and has for 5 days.  Is there something I need to do to Colorado to pick it up again?

    Apparently  (form another person posting) , CO  just started processing on 11 Feb......and they have a ton of forms backed up & waiting.

     

    So give-em a week to catch up.  Though, perhaps it was only test pull of files and not fully started yet..

    That is expected with Colorado this year.    Please see this TurboTax FAQ regarding the delays in CO.   They just started accepting returns, so you should see a change soon; they are sure to have a backlog.   @Sjparker

    I just checked the Colorado Department of Revenue site and they are not accepting returns, yet.  This same scenario happened last year.  This is a Colorado State issue, NOT a Turbo Tax issue.  Here's what is currently posted on the Colorado Department of Revenue site.  I will update this thread when Colorado starts accepting returns.
