Trusts or estates may allocate all or a portion of the credit(s) to the beneficiary(ies). If all or a portion of the credit(s) is allocated to the beneficiary(ies), the trust or estate must complete Worksheet B - Worksheet for Schedule CT-IT Credit (found in the Form CT-1041 instruction booklet). The amount of the tax credit allocable to the trust or estate on Worksheet B - Worksheet for Schedule CT-IT Credit, Line 6, Column D, is the amount earned for purposes of Column C of this schedule.

Tax Credits With Limited Carryforward Provisions Any angel investor or insurance reinvestment fund tax credit balance that remains after applying the tax credits to the current year income tax liability may be carried forward if the period for claiming the tax credit has not expired. Since the carryforward period for each tax credit varies, the taxpayer must decide how to apply the tax credits with a carryforward provision based on the remaining carryforward period. For example, if the insurance reinvestment fund tax credit has only a two-year carryforward period remaining and the angel investor tax credit has a five-year carryforward period remaining, the taxpayer may choose to apply the insurance reinvestment fund tax credit first.

Connecticut usually releases forms for the current tax year between January and April. We last updated Connecticut Form CT-IT Credit from the Department of Revenue Services in January 2019.
Form CT-IT Credit is a Connecticut Individual Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.
About the Individual Income Tax
The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.
Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
