The provisions of §§ 12-713(a)-1 through 12-714(a)-2 of Part IV shall apply in determining the income derived from or connected with sources within Connecticut of a part-year resident trust for the period of nonresidence.(d) While this section pertains to Section 12-717 of the general statutes, for purposes of supplementary interpretation, as the phrase is used in Section 12-2 of the general statutes, the adoption of this section is authorized by Section 12-711(b)(3) of the general statutes.Conn.
