If you were to sell 100 mineral acres for $100,000.00 what would you owe in state taxes on that Colorado?
My experience is that you would have a long or short term capital gain or loss on your federal return. Colorado seems to tax a percentage of a gain. Your federal return is a part of your Colorado return. Contact me and I will give you the name of an accountant familiar with mineral rights questions. I own minerals in many states and they all tax differently including properties in Nevada. It is the best.
My minerals are in Colorado and I live in Nevada, but I was told by a tax accountant in Nevada that it’s not taxed on Federal, that I would have to pay state tax to Colorado, so I’m not sure who knows what.

Howard, I would defer to your personal tax accountant’s advice. Maybe the buyer will have to pay sales tax on the purchase of real property in Colorado and you only have to be concerned about capital gains or losses to the feds. Ask your accountant and don’t forget to look at tax laws for inherited property expected value at the time of grantor’s death if that’s applicable. Personally, I’m for a flat tax on earnings and that’s all ever. GLH

Gary: I live in the State of Utah and have gas & oil interest in Doddridge County, West Virginia (Royalty). In the past I have combined my 1099 from royalties received with my total earnings and paid my taxes to the Feds and Utah. In the past, royalties received from West Virginia have been insignificant; however, this year my income is up due to signing leases resulting in bonus money. Would I continue to pay my taxes through Utah or do I pay on money received from West Virginia by filing in West Virginia? I pay property taxes in West Virginia. What is severance tax?
