Where does the CHET ( Ct Higher education trust) credit show up on the CIT form ?

[IreneS]

CHET contributions are not a credit, but a deduction from your CT income.  Since they are a deduction, they would not appear on the CT-IT form.  The contributions appear on line 48 of the CT-1040 (Schedule 1) as a subtraction from federal adjusted income  They are then included with other subtractions and entered on line 4 (p. 1) of the CT-1040.

To enter your CHET contributions:

1. Go into your CT return to the screen, Here's the income that Connecticut handles differently.
2. In the Education section, click the Start box next to CHET contributions. 
   
3. On the next screen, mark the Yes radio button and enter the amount of your contribution and account number.
