**There are several conformity bills that address these issues that are currently being considered by the Hawaii State Legislature. The only way for a federal tax provision to be adopted for Hawaii income purposes is through a legislative amendment of the Hawaii Revised Statutes.

Therefore, the excluded amount is not subject to Connecticut income tax. There are no Connecticut statutory modifications that require this new federal exemption amount to be added back on Connecticut's return. **TaxSlayer Pro automatically adds back the federal exclusion amount the Colorado state return.ģ/24/21 - The starting point in determining an individual's Connecticut income tax liability is the individual's federal adjusted gross income. **Colorado taxpayers who are still preparing to file their 2020 tax return will need to add back the amount of unemployment compensation excluded from their federal taxable income in accordance with the American Rescue Plan Act. **Taxpayers who amend their federal return (or take other action to claim this benefit as directed by the IRS), must not amend their filed Colorado return to claim a reduction of income related to this retroactive change. **Colorado taxpayers who have already filed a state tax return for 2020, and included all of their unemployment compensation in the amount of taxable income reported, do not need to take any additional action with respect to their Colorado return. This is to not allow a "double deduction" on the CA return given the beginning point of the CA return is the Federal AGI.ģ/16/21 - CO is not conforming to the Federal unemployment update and will continue to fully tax all unemployment received on the CO return.
