Yes – you may take a credit against your 2016 Connecticut income tax liability for qualifying property tax payments you made to your Connecticut town or taxing district on your privately owned or leased motor vehicle, or both – and you can enter your property taxes paid information using TurboTax.

You enter the property taxes paid on your motor vehicle to a Connecticut town or taxing authority in TurboTax as follows:
