How 1099 quarterly tax works in Connecticut
Self-employed workers pay the full 15.3% Social Security + Medicare (the "self-employment tax") on 92.35% of profit, plus federal income tax, plus Connecticut state income tax. The IRS expects this in four estimated payments rather than a single April bill. Connecticut cut its two lowest bracket rates to 2% and 4.5% starting in 2024 — its first income-tax rate cut since the mid-1990s.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I set aside for taxes as a 1099 contractor in Connecticut?
It depends on profit, but as a rough guide a single filer with $60,000 of net 1099 profit in Connecticut owes about $13,763 total for 2026 — roughly $3,441 per quarter. That covers 15.3% self-employment tax, federal income tax, and Connecticut state income tax. Use the tool for your numbers.
When are 2026 quarterly taxes due?
Federal estimated taxes for 2026 are due April 15, June 15 and September 15, 2026, and January 15, 2027. Pay federal with IRS Form 1040-ES; most states have their own estimated-tax vouchers with similar dates.
What counts as profit?
Your 1099 / self-employment income minus legitimate business expenses (software, equipment, mileage, home office, etc.). Self-employment tax and income tax apply to profit, not gross revenue — so tracking deductions directly lowers what you owe.
Does Connecticut charge state income tax on 1099 income?
Yes. Connecticut cut its two lowest bracket rates to 2% and 4.5% starting in 2024 — its first income-tax rate cut since the mid-1990s. The tool estimates it on your profit.
