Instructions For Form Ct-1040 - Connecticut Resident Income Tax - 2011 Page 2

When fi ling your return, don’t forget the new Connecticut Earned Income Tax credit.
You earned it, so don’t let anyone steal it.
Who’s eligible?
Connecticut residents need to be working, earning, and also eligible for the federal earned income tax credit in order to
qualify for the state credit. These taxpayers can fi le the new Schedule CT-EITC, Connecticut Earned Income Tax Credit,
to claim and receive payment from the state equal to 30% of the amount of their federal earned income tax credit amount.
See instructions on Page 33.
Protect Yourself
We want to make it easy for people to qualify, but we also want to protect taxpayers from crooks who want to steal your
identity and make a false claim. Taxpayers need to protect social security numbers and other taxpayer identity information
in order to prevent others from making a claim without your knowledge.
Others will try to steal the money by offering to prepare your Schedule CT-EITC for a fee or share of what you get but then
falsify information to get more money back. Avoid predatory tax preparers who charge high fees and may claim they can
get you a higher tax refund if you give them a percentage of your refund. These are crimes and taxpayers need to report
them to the Department of Revenue Services (DRS).
