Can I deduct the annual property tax that I pay on my car in Connecticut.

It depends. To qualify for the property tax credit, you, or your spouse if married filing jointly, must be 65 years of age or older by the end of the taxable year, or you must have claimed at least one dependent on your federal income tax return.

You may take credit against your 2020 Connecticut income tax liability for qualifying property tax payments you made on your primary residence, privately owned or leased motor vehicle, or both, to a Connecticut political subdivision. Generally, property tax bills due and paid during 2020 qualify for this credit. This includes any installment payments you made during 2020 that were due in 2020 and any installments you prepaid during 2020 due in 2021.

Supplemental property tax bills that were due during 2020 or 2021 also qualify if paid during 2020. However, the late payment of any property tax bills or the payment of any interest, fees, or charges related to the property tax bill do not qualify for the credit.
