Check PDIS! Has staff updated their information so that they qualify for the tax credit?

If you plan to apply for the Early Childhood Educator Tax Credit, please take a moment to make sure you have your social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) in your PDIS profile. Go to your Profile Settings page in the My Account menu to see if you already have this saved to your account.

A few key tips:

  • If you see asterisks (*********) in either of these fields, it means you’ve already entered this information and nothing else is needed on your part. We mask these fields for privacy and security.
  • You need either an SSN or ITIN, but not both.
  • The Colorado Department of Revenue uses these to process the tax credit. If you do not have one of these fields completed, it may result in a delay in the processing of your tax credit.
  • See this How-to Guide for step-by-step directions on how to update your profile information.
