A Fair Tax Plan That Works for Colorado
AMENDMENT 87 — THE INCOME TAX FAIRNESS ACT, is a tax cut for 97% of Colorado taxpayers including seniors, veterans, and most small businesses and local restaurants.
YES on 87 | NO on Prop 136
We’re bringing fairness to our tax code and protections for Colorado’s future.
Vote YES on 87 and NO on 136!
Tax Fairness
Under our current state tax code, nurses, teachers, working families, and small businesses pay the exact same income tax rate as millionaires and giant corporations. That’s not right, and it’s why Colorado’s education, health care, and child care budgets keep getting cut.
Real Accountability
100% of the funds from the proposal are constitutionally restricted to fund only K-12 schools, health care, and child care, with an annual, independent public audit to ensure politicians can’t use this money for anything else
What It Funds
Smaller class sizes and better teacher pay, so Colorado can keep good teachers in the classroom. Health care and child care that families can actually afford, at a time when billions have been cut from these budgets. Every dollar goes to K-12 education, health care, and early child care, the same services Colorado communities have been asking for.

*How is this calculated?
* For individual taxpayers, Colorado taxable income is calculated by subtracting your deductions from your federal adjusted gross income. For 2027, the standard deduction is $15,750 for single filers and $31,500 for married joint filers. Pursuant to the passage of Proposition MM, taxpayers earning more than $300,000 are subject to a maximum deduction of $1000 for single filers and $2000 for joint filers.
For owners of businesses that file as passthroughs (S-Corps, LLCs, etc), the Colorado taxable income calculation should include total annual take-home pay (salary plus share of profit) minus allowable deductions.
For C-corps, the change in annual corporate tax can be calculated by plugging annual Corporate net income into the “Annual income” field above.
Who We Are
We are a coalition committed to a fair and thriving Colorado. Amendment 87 — the Income Tax Fairness Act. Is designed to reduce taxes for 97% of Coloradans while locking in investments to schools, childcare, healthcare, and communities across the state.
