Save money on your way to work!

Commuter Tax Benefit is Connecticut's program to promote the federal tax law that allows employees to set aside pre-tax income to pay for commuting costs. As of January 2013, employees may set aside up to $245 a month ($2940 per year) of their salaries before taxes to pay for transit, vanpool fares or qualified parking.

If you spend at least $200 or more per month on your train, bus, ferry or vanpool fare, you may save up to $2940 annually on federal and state income taxes alone. Your employer saves, too – by eliminating the payroll taxes they would have paid on the amount you set aside. If you pay for parking, your savings will be even greater.
