The deadline is drawing near for Connecticut families looking to take part in the state’s one-time Child Tax Rebate program.
Applications for the program close July 31 and are available online through the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services. Qualifying families can receive up to $750 on taxes paid in 2021 and filed in 2022. That’s $250-per-child, up to three children in a household.
Only Connecticut residents with children qualify for the rebate and must meet income eligibility requirements. Single or separately-filing parents must have a reported income of $100,000 or less in 2021. For those filing as head of household, income caps at $160,000 and $200,000 for married couples or qualifying widows and widowers.
The rebate also counts for guardians who claim a child as a dependent.
The rebate also includes an income “phase out” for those above the threshold. For every $1,000 above the cap, qualifying parents will receive 10 percent less than the standard credit. For single parents, than means those making up to $110,000 can still receive something.
