Can you review the Colorado Non-Resident Form DR 0104PN is calculating a tax on line 35 based on line 9, which is zero, please investigate?

The program correctly shows no tax due in the letter, but will not allow an e-filing because it is requiring that the tax be paid by direct debit.

What exactly does the diagnostic say?

I was extending the return. It was disallowing me to file an e-file extension unless a payment was included in direct debit. They did not owe tax, except that a tax was appearing on the form **bleep**.

Since the taxpayer had negative income, I just deleted the Colorado return since as an non resident they would not have to file.

Ah, you didn't mention the bit about this being an extension in your original post.

This is because CO automatically extends returns by 6 months to Oct 16. If your client owes nothing, there is no extension to request.

In the event your client has a balance due, 90% of the balance due would need to be paid in to avoid a late payment penalty but DR 0158-I cannot be efiled by any tax software, AFAIK. (CO has a few quirks, as you may already know - to claim other state tax credit, you actually need to upload the other state's return on their website separately).

We normally would advise clients to just make an online payment on the CO DoR website if we expect that they would have a balance due.
