Colorado: 3rd-Party Setup

Modified on Thu, 15 Oct at 2:55 AM

Provide Taxually with the following information to complete your Onboarding

Required Information

We will need the following information from you:

  1. Revenue Online (ROL) - Grant Third Party Access

  2. SUTS: Provide Account Number and Activation Code

    1. Taxually requires all clients collecting local sales taxes in Colorado to register with the Colorado Sales & Use Tax System (SUTS) portal. Registering for a SUTS account allows us to report your local Colorado taxes accurately and efficiently.



⚠️IMPORTANT: ROL and SUTS accounts

  • Revenue Online (ROL) is for managing your overall state taxes.
  • SUTS is a tool exclusively for businesses to handle sales tax across multiple cities. 
  • Without SUTS: A business would have to log into ROL to pay the state, and then log into separate city websites to pay each local tax. 
  • SUTS lets you combine those local payments into a single step. However, you still need your ROL account for back-end administrative tasks.



Step 1: Grant Third Party Access to Taxually via ROL Account

NOTE: This must be done by a user who has permission to manage other users in your Business Account.


  • Log in to Colorado Revenue Online (ROL)

  • Click Manage My Profile

  • Click the More.. tab

  • In the Access Management section, Click Grant Third Party Access and then Next

  • Enter Lumatax as the username

  • Select All Periods for the periods to grant Lumatax access to

  • Check the checkbox for the Sales Tax account

  • Click the blank box (with the *) in the Access Level column

  • Select File & Pay and click Submit

Step 2: Provide SUTS Account Number and Activation Code

NOTE: If you do not have a SUTS account, see section below on "How to Create a SUTS Account". 

  • Log in to SUTS

  • On the Dashboard, locate the section with your business information (titled as your business name).

  • In this section you will find:

    • the 6-digit Account Number ("Acct #") (format 123456) and 

    • the 6-character Activation Code (format ABCDEF)


What happens next

  • Taxually will complete third party access using the information you provided

  • Taxually will confirm if the access is successful for ROL and SUTS or contact you if they require additional information.


Optional Step: How to Create a SUTS Account

This is a registration form for the SUTS portal, not a new tax account registration.

PLEASE NOTE: You will need to know your Registration date in Colorado (the date you began business in Colorado) to complete the account creation.
