=DO=NOT=SEND= DR 0106 (09/19/25) COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE Tax.Colorado.gov Colorado Partnership and S Corporation Income Tax Return This filing guide will assist you with completing your Colorado Partnership and S Corporation Income Tax Return. Please read through this guide before starting your return. Once you finish the form, file it with a computer, smartphone or tablet using our free and secure system at Colorado.gov/RevenueOnline. You may also file using private e-File software or with a paid tax preparer. Filing electronically significantly reduces the chance of errors. If you cannot file electronically, mail your return as instructed. All Colorado forms and publications referenced in this guide are available for download at Tax.Colorado.gov — the official Taxation website. If you are filing on paper, submitting an incomplete return will delay the processing of your return. Please ensure you submit any supporting forms, schedules, and documentation as requested in the instructions. All Colorado income tax forms and guidance publications are available at our official website, Tax.Colorado.gov. Every partnership and S corporation must file a DR 0106 for any year it is doing business in Colorado. A partnership or S corporation is doing business in Colorado whenever it meets the criteria set forth in Rule 39-22-301(1). Any group, organization, or business entity that is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, is treated as a partnership for Colorado income tax purposes, including any limited liability company classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Amended Return To report a change or correction to your return, you must complete a new DR 0106 and mark the “Amended Return” box at the top of the form. Enter all fields even if the value has not changed from the original return. Submit all schedules and supporting documentation, even if they were submitted with the original return and have not changed. What’s new this year? Reconciliation of Advance Payments A partnership or S corporation that elects to receive quarterly advance payments must complete and file form DR 0619 with their return. On form DR 0619, they must indicate the total Innovative Motor Vehicle and Truck Credits assigned to them for the tax year, the total Electric Bicycle Credits allowed to them for the tax year, and the total amount of each credit they previously received through quarterly advance payments. If the aggregate amount of advance payments received for the tax year exceeds the amount of the credit allowed, the amount of the excess must be reported as a required repayment on form DR 0619 and on line 23 of form DR 0106. If the aggregate amount of advance payments for the tax year is less than the amount of the credit allowed, the amount of the difference may be claimed as a credit on form DR 0619 and line 27 of form DR 0106. General Instructions Due Dates You must file this return and pay any amount owed by the fifteenth day of the fourth month after the close of the tax year, which is April 15 for calendar year filers. For filing your return there is an automatic extension of six months, or until October 15 for calendar year filers. However, no extension is available for payment. To make an extension payment before filing, see form DR 0158-N in this book. If the due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, return will be due the next business day. 1 =DO=NOT=SEND= DR 0106 (09/19/25) COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE Tax.Colorado.gov On or before the due date (including extensions), you must provide each partner or shareholder a copy of their Colorado K-1 (DR 0106K). Copies of the Colorado K-1 must also be transmitted to the Colorado Department of Revenue when you file this return. For more information on transmitting copies of the Colorado K-1, refer to Tax.Colorado.gov/filing-requirement-changes-for-partnerships-and-s-corporations. Nonresident Partners and Shareholders Every partnership and S corporation that is required to file form DR 0106 that does not make an election under the SALT Parity Act must file a composite return (Part II of form DR 0106) and make a composite payment of tax on behalf of all of its nonresident partners or shareholders, except for the following partners and shareholders: • Any Colorado resident partner or shareholder, including partners and shareholders that are residents of Colorado for only part of the tax year; • Any nonresident partner that is a corporation or a partnership; • Any nonresident partner or shareholder that is exempt from Colorado income tax under section 3922-112(1), C.R.S.; and • Any nonresident partner or shareholder that timely files a Nonresident Partner or Shareholder Agreement (form DR 0107). Partnerships and S corporations that file a composite return must report on the Colorado K-1 they issue to each included nonresident partner or shareholder their share of the tax paid by the partnership or S corporation with the composite return. Nonresident partners and shareholders may file their own Colorado income tax returns and claim credit for their share of the tax paid by the partnership or S corporation. SALT Parity Act Election Partnerships and S corporations may elect to be subject to Colorado income tax at the entity level. The election is binding on all of the partners or shareholders, except for any partner that is a C corporation that is unitary with the partnership. Partnerships and S corporations may make this election, by checking box I on form DR 0106. The partnership or S corporation may also make the election by filing form DR 1705 or by marking the SALT Parity Act election box on form DR 0106EP filed with an estimated tax payment. Check the SALT Parity Election box on every Colorado K-1 issued to a partner or shareholder. If a partnership or S corporation makes a SALT Parity Act election, its tax liability must be calculated with respect to all partners or shareholders (including both residents and nonresidents), except for any partner that is a C corporation that is unitary with the partnership. Each partner or shareholder must also file a return, except that a nonresident individual partner or shareholder whose only Colorado source income is from the partnership or S corporation making the SALT Parity Act election is not required to file a return. A partnership or S corporation that makes a SALT Parity Act election may not also make a composite return on behalf of nonresident partners or shareholders. Each partner or shareholder is allowed a credit against their Colorado income tax liability equal to the share of the tax imposed upon and paid by the entity with respect to the partner’s or shareholder’s income. All other credits are passed through to the partner or shareholder and must be claimed on the return filed by the partner or shareholder along with the refundable SALT Parity Act credit. When a partnership or S corporation makes the SALT Parity Act election, all partners or shareholders must add back any deduction taken under section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code. 2 =DO=NOT=SEND= DR 0106 (09/19/25) COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE Tax.Colorado.gov Estimated Tax Payments In general, a partnership or S corporation must remit quarterly estimated payments if its net Colorado tax liability for the year either with a composite nonresident return or as a result of a SALT Parity Act Election exceeds $5,000. The rules for calculating a partnership’s or S corporation’s required estimated payments are generally the same as the rules for calculating a C corporation’s estimated tax payments. Please see Part 9 of the Colorado Corporate Income Tax Guide. Use form DR 0233 to calculate the estimated tax penalty, if any. If an estimated tax penalty is due, enter the penalty on line 31 of form DR 0106 and submit a copy of form DR 0233 with the return. Partnerships and S corporations making estimated payments must remit payment with form DR 0106EP. Colorado K-1 (DR 0106K) Partnerships and S corporations must complete a Colorado K-1 (DR 0106K) for each of their partners and shareholders for each tax year. Completed Colorado K-1s must be filed with the Department, as described later in these instructions. On or before the date the Colorado K-1s are filed with the Department, the partnership or S corporation must furnish each partner or shareholder with a copy of the Colorado K-1 reporting their income, deductions, modifications, and credits. Partnerships and S corporations must also advise partners and shareholders of their share of any taxes paid by the entity to another state so they can compute the credit for tax paid to other state(s), and the related state income tax addback. Refer to Rules 39-22-104(3)(d) and 39-22-108 for more information. Detailed instructions regarding modifications and credits are provided with the Colorado K-1 (DR 0106K). Apportionment and Sourcing of Income Partnerships and S corporations doing business in more than one state must apportion or source the income of their partners and shareholders who are nonresident individuals, nonresident estates, or nonresident trusts as described below. The partnership or S corporation must compute each of these nonresident partner’s or shareholder’s share of income and other items that is attributable to Colorado and show the amount attributable to Colorado on the Colorado K-1 (DR 0106K). The income of resident partners or shareholders and partners that are corporations or partnerships generally is not apportioned or sourced in the same manner. See the instructions below for additional information. Partnerships For partners who are nonresident individuals, nonresident estates, or nonresident trusts, the Colorado-source income resulting from partnership activity is generally determined pursuant to section 39-22-109, C.R.S. (Direct Sourcing), or, at the partnership's election, apportioned and allocated pursuant to section 39-22-303.6, C.R.S. (Receipts-Factor Apportionment). The ordinary income of a partnership will generally be sourced using receipts-factor apportionment even if the partnership does not elect to apportion and allocate all income using this method. Any partnership that has partners (such a C corporations) that are required to apportion and allocate income under section 39-22-303.6, C.R.S., must complete Part V of form DR 0106 in accordance with section 39-22-303.6, C.R.S., to determine the amounts to enter on lines 14 and 15 of each form 3 =DO=NOT=SEND= DR 0106 (09/19/25) COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE Tax.Colorado.gov DR 0106K the partnership prepares for these partners. If a partnership has any such partners, it must complete Part V of form DR 0106 in accordance with section 39-22-303.6, C.R.S., regardless of whether it elects to use direct sourcing under section 39-22-109, C.R.S., for its partners that are nonresident individuals, estates, and trusts and checks the "other" box on line 11 of form DR 0106. S Corporations Section 39-22-321(1) and (2), C.R.S., requires S corporations to apportion and allocate income pursuant to section 39-22-303.6, C.R.S. (Receipts-Factor Apportionment). Direct Sourcing Each item of income, gain or loss, is sourced separately to determine whether it is derived from sources within Colorado. In general, items are considered to be derived from sources within Colorado when they are attributable to: • The ownership of any interest in real or tangible personal property in Colorado (see Rule 39-22-109(3)(a)); • A business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on in Colorado (see Rule 39-22-109(3)(b)); or • Intangible property, including annuities, dividends, interest, and gains from the disposition of intangible property, to the extent such income is from property employed in a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on in Colorado (see Rule 39-22-109(3)(e). Please see section 39-22-109, C.R.S., and Rule 39-22-109 for additional guidance in determining Colorado-source income. Direct sourcing under section 39-22-109, C.R.S., applies only to partners that are nonresident individuals, nonresident estates, and nonresident trusts (except that direct sourcing may be used in calculating the tax liability of a partnership that makes a SALT Parity Act election for all nonresident partners included in the return). See sections 39-22-109(1), 39-22-403, and 39-22-404, C.R.S. Apart from a SALT Parity Act election, direct sourcing under section 39-22-109, C.R.S., does not apply to any other types of partners, such as partners that are corporations, upper-tier partnerships, or resident individuals. Receipts-Factor Apportionment Under formulary apportionment, income from business activity that is taxable both within and outside Colorado is apportioned and allocated in the same manner as the income of a C corporation. Apportionable income must be apportioned using the receipts factor. Nonapportionable income may either be directly allocated to the appropriate state or treated as apportionable income, subject to receipts-factor apportionment. Complete and include Part V with your return if you are sourcing income using receipts-factor apportionment. For more information on apportionment and allocation, refer to Part 6 of the Colorado Corporate Income Tax Guide. Not Apportioning Income If a partnership or S corporation has no income from business activity outside Colorado, then the partnership or S corporation will source 100% of its income to Colorado. 4 =DO=NOT=SEND= DR 0106 (09/19/25) COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE Tax.Colorado.gov DR 0106 Instructions Taxpayer Information Enter the following information for the partnership or S corporation: • Fiscal year beginning and ending dates if the tax year is not a calendar year.

Colorado usually releases forms for the current tax year between January and April. We last updated Colorado Form 106 from the Department of Revenue in March 2026.
Form 106 is a Colorado Corporate Income Tax form. Like the Federal Form 1040, states each provide a core tax return form on which most high-level income and tax calculations are performed. While some taxpayers with simple returns can complete their entire tax return on this single form, in most cases various other additional schedules and forms must be completed, depending on the taxpayer's individual situation, to create a complete income tax return package.
About the Corporate Income Tax
The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.
Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).
Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
