Connecticut General Statutes 12-711a – Repayment of income by taxpayer
(a)(1) If an item of income was included in the Connecticut adjusted gross income of an individual for a preceding taxable year or years because it appeared that the individual had an unrestricted right to such item, and, based on the repayment of such item by such individual during the taxable year, such individual properly determines his or her federal income tax liability for the taxable year under Section 1341(a)(4) or (5) of the Internal Revenue Code, then the tax imposed by this chapter for the taxable year on such individual shall be an amount equal to (A) the tax for the taxable year computed without regard to this section, minus (B) the decrease in tax under this chapter for the preceding taxable year or years which would result solely from the exclusion of such item or portion thereof from the Connecticut adjusted gross income of such individual for such preceding taxable year or years. This section shall not apply if such repayment is properly deductible in determining the individual’s federal adjusted gross income for the taxable year, and such individual properly determines his or her federal income tax liability for the taxable year under Section 1341(a)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code by deducting such repayment.
