Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 183-day rule in Connecticut?

Connecticut's 183-day rule determines state income tax residency. If you spend more than 183 days in Connecticut during a tax year and maintain a permanent place of abode there, you are considered a statutory resident and owe Connecticut income tax on all income — even if you're domiciled elsewhere. This is particularly relevant for real estate investors balancing property holdings across multiple states, as it can affect which state-level deductions and strategies like cost segregation apply to your returns.
