About Connecticut Income Tax
Connecticut has a seven-bracket progressive income tax ranging from 2% to 6.99%. The 6.99% top rate applies to income above $500,000 (single filers). For most middle-income workers, the relevant brackets are 5% and 5.5%. Connecticut is notable for having a relatively generous property tax credit against state income tax (up to $300 for qualifying homeowners and renters), as well as an exemption on pension and Social Security income for qualifying lower-income retirees. The state does not allow deduction of federal income taxes on the state return. Connecticut has high property taxes — among the highest in the nation — which compounds the overall tax burden. Workers in the Hartford and New Haven areas benefit from no local income taxes. Connecticut's overall effective tax burden is one of the highest in New England.
