What is the Connecticut income tax cliff?

Connecticut's recapture mechanism causes the tax savings from lower brackets to be repaid as income enters the top bracket, creating an effective marginal rate spike above 6.99%.

At what income does the CT cliff occur?

The recapture phase-in begins around $500,000 for single filers and $600,000 for joint filers, fully recaptured by approximately $800,000 to $1 million.
