On 9/1/22, Colorado became the first state to accept cryptocurrency for all tax payments. There are many ways this could have been structured and I think the state picked an interesting one which I assume makes it easier for the state.
Payments have to come from PayPal Cryptocurrencies Hub. The PayPal account has to be a personal one rather than a business one. Per the DOR website on this:
“A sufficient amount of cryptocurrency to cover the tax, obligation and fees is converted to dollars and remitted to DOR to complete the online transaction. Service fees include an additional $1.00 plus 1.83% of the payment amount. You must have the entire value of your invoice in a single cryptocurrency in your PayPal Cryptocurrencies Hub. Effective on the date initiated, USDs will transfer in 3-5 business days.” [also see https://www.colorado.gov/revenueonline/_/#1]
Per the PayPal crypto website, you can buy, transfer or sell Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and Litecoin.
