General Instructions
Nonresidents and Part‑Year Residents: Nonresident individuals are subject to Connecticut income tax on their Connecticut‑sourced income.
Part‑year residents are taxed on all income received while a resident of Connecticut and on income received from Connecticut sources while a nonresident. Connecticut‑sourced income includes but is not limited to income from a business, profession, occupation, or trade conducted in this state as well as income from the rental or sale of real or tangible property located in Connecticut.
Convenience of the Employer: Residents of states with a "convenience of the employer" test will be subject to similar rules for work performed for a Connecticut employer.
Who Is Required to Make Estimated Payments: You must make estimated income tax payments if:

Your Connecticut income tax, after taking into account your Connecticut tax withheld, and any Pass-Through Entity Tax Credit (PE Tax Credit) you are allowed to claim, is $1,000 or more; and
You expect your Connecticut income tax withheld (including any PE Tax Credit) to be less than your required annual payment for the 2026 taxable year.

Your required annual payment is the lesser of:

90% of the income tax shown on your 2026 Connecticut income tax return; or
100% of the income tax shown on your 2025 Connecticut income tax return if you filed a 2025 Connecticut income tax return that covered a 12‑month period.

You do not have to make estimated income tax payments if you were a:

Connecticut resident during the 2025 taxable year and you did not file a 2025 income tax return because you had no Connecticut income tax liability; or
Nonresident or part‑year resident with Connecticut‑sourced income during the 2025 taxable year and you did not file a 2025 income tax return because you had no Connecticut income tax liability.

If you were a nonresident or part‑year resident and you did not have Connecticut‑sourced income during the 2025 taxable year, then you must use 90% of the income tax shown on your 2026 Connecticut income tax return as your required annual payment.
When to File: Estimated payments for the 2026 taxable year are due on or before April 15, June 15, September 15, 2026, and January 15, 2027.
Fiscal year filers should follow federal filing dates. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, your estimated payment will be considered timely if filed on the next business day. An estimate will be considered timely if received, or if the date shown by the U.S. Postal Service cancellation mark, is on or before the due date.
Visit the DRS website at portal.ct.gov/DRS-myconneCT to make your estimated payments online and receive immediate confirmation that your payment was timely remitted.
How Much Should I Pay: Complete the 2026 Estimated Connecticut Income Tax Worksheet on Page 3 to calculate your required annual payment.
Special Rules for Farmers and Fishermen: If you are a farmer or fisherman (as defined in Internal Revenue Code § 6654(i)(2)), see Informational Publication 2021(2), Farmer's Guide to Sales and Use
Taxes, Motor Vehicle Fuels Tax, Estimated Income Tax, and Withholding
Tax.
Pension or Annuity Income Recipients: If your filing status is single, married filing separately, or head of household with federal adjusted gross income (AGI) for the taxable year of less than $100,000 or married filing jointly with federal AGI of less than $150,000, and you receive distributions from certain pensions and annuities, such as from a defined benefit plan, 401(k), 403(b) or 457(b) plans, or from an IRA (other than a Roth IRA), you may be able to deduct all or a portion of such pension or annuity income in determining your Connecticut adjusted gross income (AGI). For assistance in determining whether you are eligible to deduct all or a portion of your pension or annuity, see Pension and Annuity Worksheet on Page 4.

Members of Partnerships and Shareholders of S corporations: If you are a partner in a partnership or shareholder of an S corporation, you must continue to include your distributive or pro-rata share of income when determining your estimated payments. However, in determining your estimated payments, you take into account any PE Tax Credit you expect to claim for the 2026 taxable year.
In general, you are required to make estimated payments based upon 100% of your prior year tax or 90% of your current year tax. Because of the potential variability in your income and credits, you may prefer to pay 100% of the tax shown on your 2025 return to avoid underpayment interest (2210 interest). You are required to pay the full amount of your 2026 tax liability by April 15, 2027, either with a timely filed return or with an extension request. Otherwise, you may incur late payment penalties.
Annualized Income Installment Method: If your income varies throughout the year, you may be able to reduce or eliminate the amount of your estimated tax payment for one or more periods by using the annualized income installment method. See Informational Publication 2018(11), A Guide to Calculating Your Annualized Estimated Income Tax Installments and Worksheet CT‑1040 AES.
Interest: You may be charged interest if you did not pay enough tax through withholding, estimated payments, or both, by the installment due date, or if any PE Tax Credit reported to you on Schedule CT K‑1, Part 4, Line 1, or Schedule CT‑1041 K‑1, Part 4, Line 1, is not sufficient to cover your tax liability by the installment due date. This is true even if you are due a refund when you file your tax return. Interest is calculated separately for each installment. Therefore, you may owe interest for an earlier installment even if you paid enough tax later to make up for the underpayment. Interest at 1% per month or fraction of a month will be added to the tax due until the earlier of April 15, 2027, or the date on which the underpayment is paid.
If you file your income tax return for the 2026 taxable year on or before January 31, 2027, and pay in full the amount computed on the return as payable on or before that date, you will not be charged interest for failing to make the estimated payment due January 15, 2027.
A farmer or fisherman who files a 2026 Connecticut income tax return on or before March 1, 2027, and pays in full the amount computed on the return as payable on or before that date, will not be charged interest for underpayment of estimated tax. See Payment Options, on Page 8.
