Colorado’s great migration wave looks like it has crested, according to tax return counts the Internal Revenue Service released Friday.

The IRS counted 76,123 Colorado tax returns filed last year by households who had filed under an address in another state or abroad in 2014. That was down from the 97,185 tax returns filed in 2014 by someone who had moved into the state after filing their 2013 return.

That represents 21,062 fewer inbound filing households, a decline of 22 percent. Even though the numbers are down, the tax return counts show the same states still dominate in supplying Colorado with the most new residents — California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, Illinois, New York and New Mexico.

Arizona and New Mexico were among the sending states with percentage drops larger than the 22 percent average decline, while New York only showed a 16 percent drop.

The migration slow down occurred in both directions. There were 56,653 tax returns filed outside the state in 2015 by households who had lived in Colorado when they filed in 2014. That was a 28 percent decline of 21,594 returns from the 78,247 returns filed by once-time Colorado households who showed out-of-state addresses on their 2014 returns.

Texas, California, Florida, Arizona and Washington remain the most popular states for those leaving Colorado. As was the case in 2014, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana are the only four states winning the migration tug-of-war for Colorado households, drawing more than they sent out.

Even the number of households moving across county lines within the state showed a big 22 percent drop. Last year, 89,984 Colorado households who filed their taxes had listed an address in another Colorado county on the previous return. But in 2014, there were 115,258 households who had moved across county lines based on the address reported in 2013.

The one category that experienced an increase, about 5 percent, were the filers who stayed put over the course of the year. There were 1.93 million Colorado tax filers who had no change in address outside their county last year versus 1.85 million in 2014.

Back in 2014, 10.3 percent of Colorado tax returns in Colorado came from migrating households as defined by the IRS, the highest ratio of any state in the country. Last year, a smaller 7.9 percent of returns were made by migrating households.
