If you own a Colorado business, end-of-year tax reporting is a stressful time. The DR-1093 is a Colorado Department of Revenue form that summarizes the Colorado income tax withheld from all employees in a calendar year. The Department uses the data collected to reconcile against the payments received from employees each calendar year. That means that making accurate calculations is an absolute necessity. Employers must transmit copies of employee W2 forms (DR 1094) with the DR-1093. The deceptively short form is not as simple as it may appear.
For tax years 2025 and later, a dozen credits, carryforward credits, and subtractions cannot be claimed. Make sure that you know where you stand each tax year.
Employers require strict records of vast amounts of data for quarterly and end-of-year reporting. If you find yourself consistently moving between data programs and software, Advanced Micro Solutions has the product to streamline your accounting and payroll processes. If you need a complete payroll solution or a simple forms filer, we have the software that you need to speed up your DR-1093 and DR-1094 reporting.
