Connecticut taxes at a glance (2026)
Connecticut has a graduated income tax with a standard deduction of $0 (single) / $0 (married). CT taxes income with 7 graduated brackets, 2% to 6.99% top rate (verified vs Tax Foundation 2026). NO standard deduction - uses personal exemptions (up to $15,000 single / $24,000 MFJ, phasing out $1,000 per $1,000 of CT AGI above $30,000 single / $48,000 MFJ) plus personal tax credits (1%-75% of tax, based on AGI). The 2024 reform cut the two lowest rates (3%->2% and 5%->4.5%); still in effect for 2026. CT has a 'tax benefit recapture' that phases out the benefit of lower brackets for high earners, so very-high-income filers effectively pay the top rate on all income. No local/city income taxes. Social Security benefits exempt for lower/middle incomes (full exemption below $75k single/$100k MFJ federal AGI, phased above). Pension and annuity income 100% exempt below those AGI thresholds (fully eliminated at $100k single/$150k MFJ); partial in between. CT residents working in NY claim a credit for NY tax paid to avoid double tax.
