Every taxpayer’s situation is unique, and Connecticut’s state tax system presents its own challenges. Our team combines decades of experience with local knowledge to resolve issues efficiently and effectively.
Connecticut Property Tax Relief for Seniors
Connecticut offers specific property tax relief programs for seniors and disabled homeowners. These programs, administered by municipalities, can significantly lower annual property tax bills if you qualify. We help you identify exemptions, navigate the application process, and ensure all paperwork is filed correctly with your town’s assessor’s office.
Tax Audit Defense in Connecticut
If the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services (DRS) flags your return for an audit, the process can be stressful. Our tax relief attorneys represent you throughout the audit, ensuring compliance and working to minimize additional liabilities. We handle communication with auditors so you don’t have to face them alone.
Back Taxes & Payment Solutions
Falling behind on state or federal taxes doesn’t have to mean financial ruin. We negotiate directly with the DRS and IRS to arrange manageable installment agreements, reduce penalties where possible, and explore debt resolution programs designed to help you move forward.
Connecticut Estate & Inheritance Tax Guidance
Unlike many states, Connecticut still imposes an estate tax. If you’re managing an estate or planning ahead, our attorneys help you understand exemptions, filing requirements, and strategies to reduce or manage estate tax obligations.
Sales & Income Tax Support
- Connecticut Sales Tax: The statewide sales tax is 6.35%, with no additional local add-ons, but exemptions and special rules often create confusion.
- Connecticut Income Tax Rate: As of 2025, the state has a progressive income tax ranging from 3% to 6.99%. We guide both individuals and businesses through compliance, filing corrections, and refund disputes to prevent costly errors.

FAQ
How does Connecticut property tax relief for seniors work?
Eligible homeowners age 65 and older (or those who are totally disabled) can apply for the state’s Elderly or Totally Disabled Homeowners Tax Credit Program through the local assessor’s office. To qualify, applicants must meet income limits ($55,100 for married couples and $45,200 for singles in 2025), and the property must be their primary residence. Benefits are provided as credits on property tax bills, usually up to $1,250 for married couples and $1,000 for singles. Application is required every two years, with paperwork submitted between February 1 and May 15.
What is the state of Connecticut income tax rate?
Connecticut applies a progressive income tax that ranges from 3% to 6.99% as of 2025.
Does Connecticut have a sales tax?
Yes. The statewide sales tax rate is 6.35%. Connecticut does not allow local cities or counties to add extra sales tax, though special higher rates apply to some luxury items and prepared foods.
When are Connecticut taxes due?
Connecticut personal income tax returns are generally due on April 15. Deadlines for businesses and estates may differ, and extensions may be available.
How do Connecticut taxes compare to New York?
Connecticut’s base sales tax (6.35%) is lower than New York’s combined state and local rates, which can exceed 8%. However, average property taxes in Connecticut are higher, while New York cities and counties often add their own income taxes—something Connecticut does not do.
What should I know about Connecticut estate taxes?
Connecticut imposes an estate tax on estates valued above $13.99 million in 2025. Planning ahead is critical because the exemption amount is higher than in previous years and Connecticut does not offer “portability” between spouses. Tax is due within six months of death.
