Income tax rule
Connecticut uses 2% to 6.99% progressive income tax rates in the current TaxGuide Pro calculator data.
Single example
$60,000 single taxable income -> about $2,550 state income tax before credits.

$120,000 married filing jointly taxable income -> about $5,100 state income tax before credits.
Deductions and exemptions
Uses filing status to select Connecticut deduction amounts.
Credits to review
Review dependent, household, income-based, and other Connecticut credits in the state credit finder, then confirm eligibility in official instructions.
Filing deadline
For a 2026 return filed in 2027, confirm the due date in published Connecticut instructions. State deadlines and disaster relief can differ from federal dates.
Refund processing
Connecticut does not guarantee one refund date for every return. E-filed, accurate returns with direct deposit are generally processed faster than paper or reviewed returns.
