How major events are selected

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.

Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

Personal income-tax collections

Revenue collected under the Census tax classification. Missing item codes in the complete state-level file mean no reported amount.

State governments only, Census level 2; amounts converted from thousands to dollars. Fiscal-year ending dates differ among states. Larger collections reflect population, income, tax bases, and rates; they are not inherently better.

Blue bars show tax shares; gray bars show income shares. Both use a 0–100% scale. Each share column totals approximately 100% after rounding. The bottom group includes zero and negative AGI.

What is included, and how are the groups calculated?

IRS total income tax includes income tax after specified credits, limited to zero, plus net investment income tax and tax on accumulation distributions of trusts. Refundable portions of credits are excluded. This is tax liability, not withholding, refunds received or all government revenue. Payroll, corporate, estate, excise, and state/local taxes are outside this measure. Paying little federal income tax does not mean paying no taxes.

FactVote subtracts adjacent IRS cumulative totals to form the separate groups. For example, the 95th–99th percentile equals the top 5% minus the top 1%. Average rates are then calculated from each group’s tax and AGI, rather than subtracting the published average rates. Historical groups contain different returns over time. Figures are sample estimates and rounded source amounts can introduce small differences.

All six groups are separate. Blue bars show tax shares; gray bars show receipts shares, both on a 0–100% scale. Shares sum to approximately 100% after rounding. The smallest group includes zero receipts and receipts not reported.

How this differs from the individual income-tax breakdown

The individual section groups returns by adjusted gross income. This section groups corporate returns by business receipts; neither the income concepts nor the tax totals are interchangeable. No effective tax rate is calculated by dividing corporate tax by sales.

S corporations generally pass income through to owners and are excluded here, as are REITs and RICs. Their exclusion does not mean their owners pay no tax. This section therefore describes the IRS table’s covered corporations rather than every business or every dollar of corporate-tax revenue. It does not estimate how the economic burden is shared among shareholders, workers and customers.

FactVote combines adjacent IRS size bands and sums published amounts; no suppressed values are used. Figures are sample estimates. Returns may use different accounting periods, and company size and nominal dollar values change over time. Small differences from totals reflect source rounding.

The broader federal tax burden

Individual income tax is one part of a household’s federal taxes. Compare income, payroll, corporate and excise taxes as a percentage of each group’s income.

Household tax year

Calendar year 2022 · CBO estimates · Latest available in this release: 2022. These household groups use a different income definition from the IRS tax-return groups above.

Average federal tax rates · Percent of income before means-tested transfers and taxes
Income group	Individual income	Payroll	Corporate	Excise	Combined rate
Lowest fifth	−10.1%	9.5%	0.8%	1.3%	1.4%
Second fifth	−0.9%	8.8%	0.8%	0.8%	9.5%
Middle fifth	3.1%	8.8%	0.9%	0.6%	13.4%
Fourth fifth	6.8%	9.3%	1.0%	0.5%	17.6%
Highest fifth	16.6%	6.1%	2.9%	0.3%	25.9%
All households	10.6%	7.5%	2.1%	0.4%	20.6%

Combined-rate bars share a fixed −30% to +30% scale, centered at zero. Blue = net tax; teal = net payment to households. Negative individual income tax reflects refundable credits. Components may differ from the combined rate by 0.1–0.2 points because CBO rounds each figure separately.

How this comparison is measured

CBO combines tax records and household survey data. Each rate divides the group’s total tax by its total income; it is not a simple average of individual rates. Income includes earnings, investment income and social insurance benefits, including some noncash benefits. The employer share of payroll taxes is attributed to workers. Corporate-tax allocation reflects modeling assumptions, not directly observed household payments.

The four tax types covered 90% of federal revenue in fiscal 2022. Estate and gift taxes, customs duties and other federal sources are outside this comparison, as are state/local taxes. Households with negative income are excluded from the five individual groups but included in “All households.” Do not average the five group rates to calculate the national rate.

Is after-tax income keeping up with prices?

Real disposable income per person tracks average income available for spending or saving after personal taxes, adjusted for inflation. A rise means average purchasing power increased; it does not mean every household is better off.

Monthly observations are seasonally adjusted and expressed at an annual rate; $52,849 is not one month’s income. BEA’s measure is broader than cash take-home pay and differs from Census money income and CBO household resources elsewhere on this page. Personal taxes include federal, state and local personal taxes; this is not calculated by subtracting the CBO table from Census income.

Income before and after taxes and benefits

Compare average household resources within each income group: starting income, plus means-tested benefits, minus federal taxes. These are accounting comparisons, not predictions of what incomes would be without those programs.

Income and benefits year

Calendar year 2022 · Average per household · All amounts in 2022 dollars. Gray = before; blue = after. Both bar columns use the same zero-to-$450,000 scale.

Before + means-tested benefits − federal taxes = after · Rounded CBO estimates
Income group	Before	+ Benefits	− Taxes	After
Lowest fifth	$26,200	$19,000	$400	$44,800
Second fifth	$59,100	$9,600	$5,600	$63,100
Middle fifth	$94,000	$5,600	$12,600	$87,000

All households	$143,000	$7,900	$29,400	$121,500

“Before” already includes social insurance, including Social Security and Medicare. “Benefits” adds means-tested programs only, including cash and noncash assistance from federal, state and local governments. The tax column covers federal taxes only. CBO uses PCE inflation adjustment; amounts are rounded to the nearest $100, so the displayed equation can differ by $100–$200. Negative-income households appear in the national total, not the five separate groups.

Tax credits and measured poverty

A deduction reduces taxable income. A credit reduces tax directly; a refundable credit can also result in a payment when the credit exceeds the tax owed. Census estimates how counting these payments changes the number of people below its Supplemental Poverty Measure threshold.

Original-release estimates: These figures use the thresholds in Census’s September 2025 report. Thresholds were corrected in July 2026; these are not revised credit-effect estimates. Read the revision notice ↗

Credit estimate yearCredit measure

Refundable tax credits · 2024 · Original September 2025 release
Age group	Fewer people below the threshold	90% margin of error
All ages	6,768,000	±462,000
Under 18	3,704,000	±263,000
Ages 18–64	2,985,000	±224,000
Ages 65+	79,000	±25,000

Bars start at zero and share a fixed 0–7 million people scale. “All ages” includes the three age groups below it. Refundable credits combine EITC and the refundable Child Tax Credit; the CTC-only estimate overlaps and must not be added to the combined estimate or subtracted to infer an EITC-only effect.

The SPM counts taxes, selected noncash assistance and necessary expenses, with thresholds that vary with housing and location. This differs from the official poverty measure based on pretax money income. The 2023 and 2024 counts also use different population controls, so a difference combines demographic changes and methodological updates. No year-to-year effect is calculated here.

Understanding Connecticut income

Median, average and per person

The median describes the middle household. Per-capita income is a population average, including children. BEA personal income also includes sources outside Census money income. These measures answer different questions.

Income, taxes and living costs

Before-tax money income is not take-home pay. Disposable personal income subtracts personal current taxes. Real personal income adjusts for prices. A state income-tax rate does not describe sales taxes, local property taxes, federal taxes or a household’s complete tax burden.

Annual and five-year estimates

The Connecticut ACS comparison pools 2020–2024 and expresses income in 2024 dollars. BEA annual history describes individual calendar years. A difference between the two series is not an income change.

Rankings and uncertainty

#1 means the highest measured value, not the best state. Survey ranks use point estimates; nearby values may not be distinguishable after sampling uncertainty. Larger tax collections can simply reflect a larger population or tax base.

Social Security 2100 Act

Jul 21, 2026 · In Congress

Sen. Richard Blumenthal · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

S 5042 would raise the first factor in the Social Security benefit formula from 90% to 93% for benefits in 2027–2036. This concerns Social Security cash benefits, not an established increase in the number of Connecticut recipients or the statewide income median.

Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance. No enactment of this bill is recorded at the review cutoff.

Why this record is included

Wages and cash benefits can be components of household money income. Census income is measured before taxes, so tax relief alone is not an increase in this statistic; the provision does not determine the statewide median. This connection does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain the earlier observed value.

Social Security 2100 Act

Jun 29, 2026 · In Congress

Rep. John B. Larson · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

HR 9519 would raise the first factor in the Social Security benefit formula from 90% to 93% for benefits in 2027–2036. This concerns retirement, survivors, and disability benefit payments and their role in household income; a larger benefit is not itself an additional beneficiary.

Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committees on Education and Workforce, and Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned. No enactment of this bill is recorded at the review cutoff.

Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act

Jun 25, 2026 · In Congress

Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

HR 9458 would add employer wage disclosures and pay-statement and final-payment requirements to federal wage law. These requirements concern wage transparency and recovery; wage theft is not automatically part of the FBI property-crime measure.

Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. No enactment of this bill is recorded at the review cutoff.

Why this record is included

Retained Connecticut evidence context: Median household income. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

101.Requirements to provide certain disclosures, regular paystubs, and final paymentsThe Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 is amended by inserting after section 4 (29 U.S.C. 204) the following: 5.Requirements to provide certain disclosures, regular paystubs, and final payments (a)Disclosures (1)Initial disclosuresNot later than 15 days after the date on which an employer hires an employee who in any workweek is engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce, or is employed in an enterprise engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce, the employer of such employee shall provide such employee with an initial disclosure containing the information described in paragraph (3).

Rep. Nicholas Menapace · Co-sponsored / Rep. Jane M. Garibay · Co-sponsored / Rep. Kenneth Gucker · Co-sponsored / Rep. Tom Delnicki · Co-sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

Effective October 1, 2026, HB 5563 extends the aggregation period for the organized retail-theft offense from 180 to 365 days, retaining the requirements involving shoplifting, more than $2,000 of retail property, financial gain, and coordinated activity. Shoplifting falls within the larceny-theft component of the fact; other financial offenses in the act do not automatically belong to that series.

Signed by Ned Lamont on 2026-06-04. Public Act No. 26-130. Approval, statutory effective dates, and implementation are distinct; this entry does not establish current enforceability.

Why this record is included

The amendment changes the period over which coordinated shoplifting can satisfy the organized retail-theft offense. Shoplifting belongs to the larceny-theft component of the FBI property-crime measure. The provision does not create a crime-reporting program or establish prevention. This connection does not establish causation or a change in the earlier measured value.

Retained Connecticut evidence context: Reported property-crime rate. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

(b) Any person who, for financial gain and in conjunction with one or more other persons, commits larceny by shoplifting, as defined in section 53a -119, as amended by this act , of retail property having an aggregate value exceeding two thousand dollars and (1) wrongfully takes such property during a period of [one hundred eighty ] three hundred sixty-five days, or (2) sells, delivers or otherwise transfers such property to a retail property fence, shall have committed the offense of organized retail theft.

AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE COMPTROLLER TO WITHHOLD PAYMENT FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE PREVAILING WAGE STATUTES.

May 14, 2026 · Signed

Gov. Ned Lamont · Signed

FactVote reviewed summary

Ned Lamont signed SB 268. After a prevailing-wage stop-work order, SB 268 permits the Labor Commissioner to notify the Comptroller. The Comptroller must notify the affected public-works contractor or subcontractor within 10 business days; continued noncompliance 10 business days after receipt permits payment withholding. Withheld payments must be released upon release of the order, payment of penalties, or finalization of a settlement. This is a wage-enforcement mechanism, without establishing wage recovery or an income effect.

Signed by Ned Lamont on 2026-05-14. Public Act No. 26-17. Approval, statutory effective dates, and implementation are distinct; this entry does not establish current enforceability.

How Connecticut action records are selected

Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified Connecticut officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Oct 5, 2026.

How statements are selected

This section matches specific income, wages and tax policy terms in retained, attributed source text from published Connecticut candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.

Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

FactVote reviewed summary

HB 5501 temporarily suspended the specified Connecticut gasoline and gasohol excise tax for April 1 through June 30, 2022 and required retailers to pass the reduction through to per-gallon prices. It did not suspend the listed propane, natural-gas, or diesel taxes. This historical provision does not establish a tax suspension or a price effect in the August 2026 New England observation.

Signed by Ned Lamont on 2022-03-24. Special Act No. 22-2. Approval, statutory effective dates, and implementation are distinct; this entry does not establish current enforceability.

Why this record is included

The fact is the EIA New England regional regular-gasoline price, including taxes, covering Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Connecticut policy concerns only one state in that regional measure; this is not a Connecticut statewide average. Fuel taxes, fees, supply and retail pricing rules concern components of pump prices; they do not determine the regional average. This connection does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain the earlier observed value.

Retained Connecticut evidence context: New England regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

Section 1. (Effective April 1, 2022) (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of subdivision (2) of subsection (a) of section 12-458 of the general statutes, from April 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022, inclusive, the tax imposed under said subparagraphs shall not apply to fuels or gasohol sold or used by a distributor in this state. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the tax due pursuant to subparagraphs (C) to (E), inclusive, of subdivision (2) of subsection (a) of section 12-458 of the general statutes on propane, natural gas or diesel sold or used by a distributor in this state. As used in this section, "distributor" and "fuels" have the same meanings as provided in section 12-455a of the general statutes and "gasohol" has the same meaning as provided in section 14-1 of the general statutes. (b) During the period set forth in subsection (a) of this section, each retail dealer shall reduce the per-gallon price of fuels or gasohol sold by such retail dealer in an amount equal to the amount of the reduction in such tax pursuant to subsection (a) of this section. House Bill No. 5501 Special Act No. 22-2 2 of 9 (c) A violation of subsection (b) of this section shall be deemed an unfair or deceptive trade practice under subsection (a) of section 42-110b of the general statutes. Any retail dealer that is alleged to have violated subsection (b) of this section may avail themselves of the affirmative defenses set forth in subdivision (4) of subsection (c) of section 14 -332a of the general statutes.

FactVote reviewed summary

HR 17 would tighten the employer defense for sex-based pay differences by requiring a job-related factor consistent with business necessity that accounts for the full difference, with an alternative-practice exception. It concerns wage equality, a component of household income.

Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned. No enactment of this bill is recorded at the review cutoff.

Why this record is included

Retained Connecticut evidence context: Median household income. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

(B)The bona fide factor defense described in subparagraph (A)(iv) shall apply only if the employer demonstrates that such factor (i) is not based upon or derived from a sex-based differential in compensation; (ii) is job-related with respect to the position in question; (iii) is consistent with business necessity; and (iv) accounts for the entire differential in compensation at issue. Such defense shall not apply where the employee demonstrates that an alternative employment practice exists that would serve the same business purpose without producing such differential and that the employer has refused to adopt such alternative practice.

Why this record is included

Retained Connecticut evidence context: New England regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

Section 1. (Effective April 1, 2022) (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of subdivision (2) of subsection (a) of section 12-458 of the general statutes, from April 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022, inclusive, the tax imposed under said subparagraphs shall not apply to fuels or gasohol sold or used by a distributor in this state.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current Connecticut officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.

Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Connecticut statistic. Collection reviewed Oct 5, 2026.

Sources & methods

Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.

#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.

Connecticut snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to Connecticut, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.

Retained state source collections assembled October 5, 2026. Original review and source dates remain visible. Refreshing this page does not refresh an official data release.
