Overview
Connecticut residency requirements
Domicile test for Connecticut residency
Connecticut determines tax residency primarily through the domicile test. You're considered a Connecticut domiciliary if the state is your permanent home to which you intend to return whenever absent. Factors include the location of your primary residence, family ties, business activities, and time spent in Connecticut compared to other places. Even if you maintain homes elsewhere, Connecticut may still be your domicile if it remains your center of vital interests.
183-day rule for statutory residency
If you're not a Connecticut domiciliary, you may still be considered a statutory resident for tax purposes. This occurs if you maintain a permanent place of abode in Connecticut and spend more than 183 days in the state during the tax year. Any part of a day counts as a full day, except for days spent in Connecticut solely for travel through the state. Careful day tracking is crucial to avoid unintended tax residency.
Part-year residency considerations
Connecticut recognizes part-year residency for individuals who change their domicile during the tax year or meet the statutory residency test for only part of the year. Part-year residents must file a Connecticut tax return and may need to allocate their income based on the period of residency. Understanding the specific dates that determine your residency status is essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance.
Special rules for military personnel
Active duty military personnel have unique residency considerations in Connecticut. If you're domiciled in Connecticut but stationed outside the state, you generally remain a Connecticut resident for tax purposes. However, military pay may be exempt from Connecticut income tax under certain circumstances. Non-resident service members stationed in Connecticut typically don't become residents solely due to their military presence in the state.
