Can i claim my motor vehicle tax in connecticut

[TylerH · Accepted solution]

The maximum property tax credit allowable in Connecticut on your 2016 Connecticut income tax return is $200, and this applies to both property tax paid on your primary residence in Connecticut, as well as your motor vehicle (or 2 vehicles, if you are married filing jointly or a qualified widow(er)). 

If you entered $200 or more for property taxes paid on your primary residence, on the "on “Primary Residence Property Tax Information” page, then the "Taxes Paid on Motor Vehicles" page will not display, as the $200 total available credit has already been used up on your primary residence property tax.

For more information, please see Form CT-1040 instructions:
