Connecticut State Tax

Connecticut uses specific tax tables to help compute state income tax. Connecticut incorporates the filing status in the tax tables. Marital status is still required as a standard field for income tax calculations, but has no bearing since CT uses a separate table for each filing status. The table indicator is entered in the Table# column of the Calculations tab of the 5-2-1 Employee Records window.

Refer to line 1 on the CT-W4 form for each employee, then consult the table below.
