INSTRUCTIONS: CONNECTICUT SUCCESSION TAX RETURN (Form S-2)

In Connecticut, a succession tax return is filed when it appears no tax must be paid to the state following the death of a decedent because the gross value of the property being passed on is less than the exemption for the class of the person inheriting. This document is found on the website of the government of Connecticut.
