Connecticut taxes wages at 2% to 6.99% of taxable income. There's no standard deduction; the personal exemption ($15,000 single, $24,000 married filing jointly, $19,000 head of household) shrinks by $1,000 for each $1,000 of income over $30,000 / $48,000 / $38,000. A personal tax credit of 1%–75% of the tax applies up to $64,500 of income ($100,500 joint). Higher earners pay add-backs that phase out the lower rates, up to $3,650 single and $7,300 joint.
