Do I still have to file my state of Connecticut taxes by April 15?

At the direction of Governor Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services (DRS) is extending the filing and payment deadline for personal income tax returns 90 days, to July 15, 2020. 

The extension also applies to Connecticut estimated income tax payments for the first and second quarters of 2020.Connecticut taxpayers who are owed a refund may still file with DRS. 

The easiest way to file – and the fastest way to receive a refund – is through online filing, including via the DRS online Taxpayer Service Center, which is easy, secure, and free to use. 

Since Connecticut’s personal income tax return begins with federal Adjusted Gross Income, it is often beneficial to complete one’s federal income tax return first.
