HARTFORD — Sunday, July 31 is the deadline to apply for a child tax credit from the State of Connecticut. You must apply online. It’s a simple process. You’ll need a copy of your latest tax return to get some info from while filling out the form online. 

Here’s a modified press release the governor released yesterday:

Gov. Ned Lamont announced Thursday that so far 200,027 households on behalf of 311,513 children have submitted applications for the 2022 Connecticut Child Tax Rebate. 

This includes more than 11,000 households that applied within the previous 24 hours. The increase in applications over the last several days comes as the July 31, 2022, deadline to apply for the rebate quickly approaches.
