(1) For the 2012 income tax year and each income tax year thereafter, any taxpayer that claims one or more income tax credits pursuant to this article shall file a state income tax return with the department of revenue in an electronic format, unless filing in an electronic format would cause undue hardship to the taxpayer because the taxpayer does not have access to a computer, or does not have sufficient internet access, internet capability, or computer knowledge to file income taxes electronically.

(2) For the 2012 income tax year and each income tax year thereafter, any taxpayer that claims one or more income tax credits pursuant to this article shall submit to the department of revenue, along with the taxpayer's state income tax return, a full carryforward schedule for each income tax credit claimed pursuant to this article.

(3) For the 2012 income tax year and each income tax year thereafter, the department of revenue shall aggregate and report data on all of the income tax credits that are claimed pursuant to this article for each income tax year. The department shall categorize such aggregated data by the date that the income tax credit was certified by an enterprise zone administrator, the specific income tax credit allowed pursuant to this article that each taxpayer was authorized to claim, and the total amount of the income tax credits claimed for each income tax credit allowed pursuant to this article.

(4) The department of revenue shall submit the data collected pursuant to subsection (2) of this section and aggregated pursuant to subsection (3) of this section to the Colorado office of economic development on August 1, 2013, and on August 1 each year thereafter.
