- Personal exemption: $15,000, reduced as income rises
Rules that change the math in Connecticut
The personal exemption phases out. It is $15,000 up to $30,000 of income and falls $1,000 for each $1,000 above that, so it is gone by $45,000.
Lower and middle incomes get a personal tax credit of 1% to 75% of the tax, which phases out as income rises. A small add-back also applies at higher incomes, which removes the benefit of the lowest bracket.
