[Cindy0H · Accepted solution]

It is 25% of the income received from the state teacher’s retirement system.

From Connecticut:

For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, in determining a taxpayer’s Connecticut AGI, a taxpayer is allowed a subtraction modification of 25% of the income received from the state teacher’s retirement system.

This modification applies to the extent such income is properly included in the taxpayer’s federal AGI for the taxable year.
