Colorado Residents Can Now Use Crypto to Pay Taxes

Residents of Colorado can now pay state taxes with cryptocurrencies using PayPal, according to the state’s payment portal. Payment takes place through the PayPal Cryptocurrencies Hub and incurs additional fees. The plan to accept crypto for taxes was announced in February, with Gov. Jared Polis outlining plans to accept crypto. The option allows residents to use crypto to pay for personal income tax, business income tax, severance tax and withholding tax, according to an Axios report that cites a speech given at Denver Startup Week.
