Coloradoans are likely to receive no TABOR (Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights) refunds in 2027 for the 2026 tax year.
- Why No Refunds: State revenue projections and budget adjustments indicate that state revenues will fall below or close to the TABOR cap for the fiscal year, leaving no excess surplus to trigger refunds.
- Recent Refunds: While smaller tiered TABOR sales-tax refunds were distributed in spring 2026 based on the 2025 tax year, 2027 is projected to be the first year without a rebate since 2020.
- Future Outlook: Forecasts suggest TABOR surpluses could potentially return in later budget cycles, depending on future state revenue growth and legislative actions. You can check official updates via the Colorado Department of Revenue TABOR Portal.
