Complete and attach Form CT-1120CU-MTB to Form CT-1120CU. Combined groups are subject to tax on the greater of their net income base or their minimum tax base (sometimes referred to as the capital base). See Special Notice 2016(1), Combined Unitary Legislation. How to Calculate the Combined Group’s Minimum Tax Base Each member of the combined group reports its average beginning and ending separate minimum tax bases on Part A, Lines 1 through 6. These separate bases are then aggregated to arrive at the average combined group minimum tax base. Each taxable member calculates its separate apportionment fraction on Form CT-1120A-CU, Apportionment Computation for Combined Unitary Filers, Schedule S and multiplies that fraction by the average combined group minimum tax base. Each taxable member’s apportioned minimum tax base is then multiplied by the tax rate of .0031 mills per dollar (.0031) to arrive at each member’s minimum tax on capital. A taxable member’s minimum tax on capital shall not be less than $250 (except for REITs and RICs as explained below). The aggregate minimum tax on capital of the combined group shall not exceed $1 million, prior to the surtax. If the aggregate amount of each taxable member’s minimum tax on capital exceeds $1 million, each taxable member should prorate its minimum tax on capital such that the group’s aggregate minimum tax on capital equals $1 million Do not prorate the minimum tax of $250. In each member column, for both taxable and nontaxable members, enter the Member Number from Form CT-1120CU-MI, Combined Group Member Information, and the name of the corporation being reported. Financial Service Companies, REITs and RICs Financial service companies should leave Lines 1 through 9 blank. Taxable members that are financial service companies should enter $250 on Line 10. Nontaxable members that are financial service companies should enter $0 on Line 10. REITs and RICs should leave all lines in Part A and Part B blank. Companies Protected by Public Law 86-272 If the only member of a combined group that is subject to the Corporation Business Tax is immune from net income taxation in Connecticut pursuant to Public Law (P.L.) 86‑272, the group should calculate its tax only on the minimum tax base. If there are other, non-immune combined group members subject to the Corporation Business Tax, the group should calculate its tax on both the net income and minimum tax bases, but should treat the immune member as a nontaxable member for net income base purposes and as a taxable member for minimum tax base purposes. All other non-immune members subject to the Corporation Business Tax should be treated as taxable members for both bases. Form CT-1120CU-MTB Instructions (Rev. 12/23) Part A – Computation of combined group minimum tax base Complete a column for each taxable and nontaxable member.

About the Corporate Income Tax
The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.
Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).
Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
