Connecticut owes more than it owns.
Connecticut's Taxpayer Burden™ is -$56,500, and it received an "F" from TIA.
Connecticut is a Sinkhole State without enough assets to cover its debt.
Elected officials have created a Taxpayer Burden™, which is each taxpayer's share of state bills after its available assets have been tapped.
TIA's Taxpayer Burden™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt.
Connecticut only has $19.8 billion of assets available to pay bills totaling $94.2 billion.
Because Connecticut doesn't have enough money to pay its bills, it has a $74.3 billion financial hole. To fill it, each Connecticut taxpayer would have to send $56,500 to the state.
Connecticut's reported net position is overstated by $13.9 billion, largely because the state delays recognizing losses incurred when the net pension liability increases.
The state's financial report was released 239 days after its fiscal year end, which is considered untimely according to the 180 day standard.

Connecticut Slows the Flow of AGI and Taxpayer Returns in 2020

AUGUST 1, 2022 | by Karen Danford

The state’s net AGI migration improved by nearly $1.4 billion, from around negative $1.6 billion to negative $302 million, in 2020. The IRS’ newly released interstate Adjusted Gross Income migration data show how much wealth states lost or gained between 2019 and 2020. The latest available data is for 2020. Net AGI migration in 2020 is calculated by subtracting AGI inflow from AGI outflow. The change between 2019 and 2020 in net AGI migration takes an individual state’s net AGI migration in 2020 and subtracts it from net AGI in 2019.

When assessing the states whose wealth increased the most between 2019 and 2020 through migration, most follow previous AGI migration trends: Florida, Tennessee, Nevada, and Texas are among the top states for net AGI increase in 2020. Most of these states’ performance has been analyzed by Truth In Accounting: Top and Bottom Net AGI 2020 AnalysisREAD MORE
