text of the letter included, for the sake of citing:
(1)The Colorado Department of Revenue has received your Withholding refund request. Your request for a
refund of $632.00 for the period ending 12/31/2021 has been denied for the following reason(s):
(2)• Missing an explanation of how payments totaling $632.00 were calculated if the withholding was $0.00.(2a)
(3)• Our records show that the total 2021 wage withholding payments made on this account were $0.00 rather than the $595.00 reported on your 2021 DR 1093 - Annual Transmittal of W-2 Forms. Therefore, no overpayment credit is available and a balance of $595.00 plus penalty and interest for the tax underpayment is owed.
(4) If you do not agree with the adjustment(s) to the requested refund, you must protest this letter. Protest and/or hearing request must be filed within 30 days from the date of this letter in writing. If the 30-day period ends on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the protest will be due on the following business
day.
In short, this letter says:
(1) You asked for a $632 refund of the taxes you paid in 2021. We're denying it, and here's why:
(2) You told us you made $0.00 that year, and as such paid $0.00 in taxes.
(2a) You clearly thought you had money that year. Did you lie to us? Please explain why you thought there was a withholding, we thought you made $0.00
(3) You filed your 2021 wage witholdings as $0.00. However, you submitted a 2021 DR-1093 reporting $595. As such, we think you a) didn't overpay (see item 2) and b) should pay us that $595 and the penalty for lying on taxes.
(4) If you disagree, you have 30 days from the date of the letter to do so. Here's how:
