Applications for CT’s Child Tax Rebate close July 31. What you need to know and how to apply.

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.

More information is available in English and Spanish on the Department of Revenue's website.
