Navigating through the realm of tax documentation and requests can often seem daunting for both seasoned taxpayers and newcomers alike. Among the various forms and procedures outlined by the Colorado Department of Revenue, the DR 5714 form serves a crucial role for individuals or entities seeking copies of their tax returns. Dated May 20, 2016, this form allows users to request duplicates of tax returns for personal, non-legal use, or even certified copies for situations necessitating legal documentation or for specific purposes like obtaining a medical marijuana red card or proving filing for driver's licenses, IDs or permits under the Colorado Road and Community Safety Act (CO-RCSA SB251). It also provides a channel to request copies of cashed refund checks, verifying the refund amount for a specific tax year. Given the potential risks associated with personal information and privacy, the Colorado Department of Revenue mandates that this form, requiring details like social security or account numbers, be filled out accurately, completely, and notarized to ensure against identity theft risks. Furthermore, it outlines the retention period for these documents – nine years plus the first six months of the current year, underscored by the specifications set by the Colorado Attorney General, the State Archivist, and the State Auditor. The form simplifies the process by allowing the request of multiple year returns without needing separate forms for each year, and by clearly specifying the minor cost involved for requests extending beyond ten pages. Fulfilling its intended function within the bureaucratic paperwork that taxes inevitably involve, the DR 5714 form delineates a straightforward, albeit formal, process to assist taxpayers in retrieving essential documents for a myriad of purposes.
