State tax filing

Hello - 

 

This is similar to my situation, but is there any way to get the mistakenly withheld money back sooner? 

 

My situation: 

- I live and work from Florida 

- My employer mistakenly had CT marked on my first paycheck of 2021 (Jan 15, 2021), so $500 was withheld by the state of CT 

- I caught it immediately and my employer has fixed it for all future paychecks 

- It is now Feb of 2021, how do I get the $500 back from last month? Do I have to wait 1+ years to file a 2021 return with CT? That seems unfair. They have my money. I would like it back. 


Thank you!
