The state of Connecticut department of taxation and finance does require you to file an annual state income tax return. The form needed for most individual taxpayers is CT-1040.

Nonresidents Must Complete:

CT-1040NR/PY, Nonresident and Part-Year resident Return; and
Schedule CT-SI, Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Schedule of Income from Connecticut Sources.

Part-Year Residents Must Complete:

CT-1040NR/PY, Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Return;
CT-1040AW, Part-Year Resident Income Allocation Worksheet
Schedule CT-SI, Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Schedule of Income from Connecticut Sources

Of course there is the CT1040EZ for easy income tax returns and then if you must file for an extension, you would use form CT1040EXT.

There are a few things to consider when filing your Connecticut state tax forms for 2009 or 2010. Currently we have the Cash for Clunkers program which is turning in an old gas guzzler for a brand new, not used vehicle, for a more fuel efficient vehicle. This is also known as CARS or car allowance rebate system.

If you were offered a rebate from the manufacturer in addition to the CARS program, the manufacturer’s rebate is not deducted from the total sales price for Connecticut sales and use tax purposes and is therefore taxable.

As you probably can guess by now, every state has its own unique set of laws and idiosyncrasies. If you are looking for more information about Connecticut state income tax laws you will probably better off to use a professional income tax preparation software program online.
