Connecticut Form CT-1040X Prints the Incorrect Filing Status in Some Instances

Products Affected:

• ProSeries/Connecticut Individual
• ProSeries Express/Connecticut Individual
• ProSeries Basic/Connecticut Individual

In some instances, Connecticut Form CT-1040X, Amended Income Tax Return for Individuals, prints the filing status incorrectly. The filing status is correct on the screen for both the original Form CT-1040 and Form CT-1040X.

This affects Form CT-1040X returns where the filing status is civil union filing jointly, married filing separately, civil union filing separately, or head of household. Below are the filing statuses that print incorrectly and the workarounds:

Civil Union Filing Jointly

When the filing status is civil union filing jointly on the original Form CT-1040 and Form CT-1040X it displays correctly on the screen, but prints as married filing separately.

On Form CT-1040X, temporarily check the Head of household box and print Form CT-1040X. Civil union filing separately will be checked on the printed Form CT-1040X.
