Example: During 1992, taxpayer N, a nonresident individual, was paid a salary of $10,000 by his employer, which is headquartered in Massachusetts. N's salary paychecks are drawn on a Massachusetts bank. Eighty percent of N's working days were properly considered days worked within Connecticut. N is also a partner in a partnership carrying on business as a manufacturer's representative both within and without Connecticut. N's distributive share as a partner of the partnership income was $35,000. Seventy percent of the income of the partnership was properly allocated to Connecticut. N received $3,000 in net rental income from a Springfield, Massachusetts apartment house that N owns. N also received a share as a beneficiary of a trust under the will of his father. Income of the trust consisted of $4,000 in net rentals from a Hartford medical office building and $6,000 in dividends from a Connecticut corporation. N's share as a 50% beneficiary of this trust was $5,000.
The portion of N's salary that was derived from or connected with Connecticut sources is $8,000, determined on the basis of an allocation of days worked in and out of Connecticut and not by where payment was made (see § 12-711(c)-5 of this Part). N's share of the partnership income which is sourced to Connecticut is $24,500, determined on the basis of the partnership's 70% allocation (see Part VII). The income from the Massachusetts apartment house is not included in Connecticut adjusted gross income derived from or connected with sources within Connecticut (see § 12-711(b)-3 of this Part). N's share of the income from the trust that is derived from or connected with sources within Connecticut is limited to $2,000, his 50% share of Connecticut rental income, because dividends are income from intangibles that are generally not considered to be derived from or connected with Connecticut sources for a nonresident (see § 12-713(a)-4 of Part IV and § 12-711(b)-5 of this Part).
