The Connecticut Earned Income Tax Credit (or CT EITC) is a refundable state income tax credit for low to moderate income working individuals and families. The state credit mirrors the federal Earned Income Tax Credit.
Per the State of Connecticut, you are to use the employer's state identification number from form W-2 or Form 1099.
For more information, please see CT-1040 Instructions. Information related to your question is found on page 35, under Line 6 - Column A and Column B.
Please clarify, which W2 or 1099 are you referring to if I have a 1099G and several W2's?
can you please be specific as to which W2 I am supposed to use for the state EITC ID# if I have several W2's? And as well have a 1099G
You will need to use all of your W2's and 1099's for the state EITC. If you only enter one of them, then your income would be under reported and your EITC may be too much or too little.
I didn’t work in the state of ct yet I have to file for a refund and I don’t know what eitc number to use
Per the State of Connecticut, you are to use the employer's state identification number from form W-2 or Form 1099.
If you paid Connecticut tax on income from a W-2 (even though you didn't work in Connecticut), use the Employer's Federal Identification Number from your W-2.

What if it is not accepting my employers EIN? And I only have one W2?
Employers have an EIN which is their Federal Identification number.
They should also have a different State Identification number.
The employer should list that state ID on the W-2 as well as their EIN. If they did not, you will need to call their payroll department and get that number from them.
