I received a 1099 nec from a company in Connecticut. Box 7 was filled with my earnings as well as box 1. I live in New hampshire. Should box 7 be left blank?

As a nonresident of CT, you may be required to file a return.

A nonresident is anyone whose legal residence (domicile) is outside of Connecticut and who does not maintain a permanent place to live in Connecticut for the entire year at which he or she spends more than 183 days in the taxable year. A nonresident can also be someone whose legal residence is in Connecticut but does not maintain a permanent place to live in Connecticut, maintains a permanent place to live outside of Connecticut, and does not spend more than 30 days in Connecticut in the taxable year.

Nonresidents of Connecticut who are required to file a Connecticut return must complete:

• Form CT-1040NR/PY; and

• Schedule CT-SI;

• Visit our Current Forms Page for forms and instructions.

Nonresident Who Must File a Return

A nonresident with Connecticut sourced income is required to file Form CT-1040NR/PY, Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return, if any of the following is true for the taxable year:

• Connecticut income tax was withheld from his or her wages or other payments or

• He or she meets the gross income test* and had any income from Connecticut sources (such as wages from working in Connecticut) or

I am self employed. I haven't been to Connecticut in 10 years. I live 365 days in NH.

Last year there was no box 7 filled on my 1099 nec
