New Jersey Income Taxes and NJ State Tax
New Jersey
"The Garden State"
New Jersey State Income Tax Return for Tax Year 2022 (Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2022) can be e-Filed in conjunction with an IRS Income Tax Return by April 18, 2023. However, if you file a tax extension, you can e-File your Taxes until October 16, 2023 without a late filing penalty. Oct. 15 is not only the filing deadline for New Jersey, but also the electronic filing deadline. If you owe NJ or Federal Taxes and you filed an extension, don't miss this deadline in order to avoid late filing penalties. If you have not filed any of your 2022 Income Tax Returns, you can e-File them until Oct. 16, 2023.
Tip: File on time, even if you can't pay on time, since the late filing penalties are higher than the late payment penalties.
eFile.com makes it easy for you to prepare and e-File your IRS and New Jersey State Tax Returns (e.g resident, nonresident, or part-year resident returns). However, the IRS and State Tax Agencies require you to e-file a Federal Income Tax Return at the same time you e-file a State Tax Return. This is not an eFile.com policy but an IRS and State Agency policy. Thus, technically you cannot e-File anywhere - not just eFile.com - a New Jersey Tax Return without also e-filing the IRS Tax Return. However, see these detailed instructions on how you can only prepare and mail in - not eFile - a New Jersey 2022 Tax Return - here via eFile.com. However, you must download/print and sign the forms and mail them to the Tax Agency.
New Jersey State Income Tax Rate: 10.75%

New Jersey Tax Extension
For Tax Year 2022, if you expect a refund or you don't owe taxes, you do not have to file a tax extension. However, if you believe you will owe taxes and can't file on time, you should take action and here are the options available for New Jersey:
- If you do not owe New Jersey income taxes by the tax deadline of April 18, 2023, you do not have to prepare and file a NJ tax extension. In case you expect a NJ tax refund, you will need to file or e-File your NJ tax return in order to receive your tax refund money.
- If you owe NJ income taxes, you will either have to submit a NJ tax return or extension by the April 18, 2023 tax deadline in order to avoid late filing penalties. The extension will only avoid late filing penalties until Oct. 16, 2023. Note: Unless you pay all your Taxes or eFile your tax return by Oct. 16, 2023, the late filing penalties will start again after . You have the follow two options to file a NJ tax extension:
- Pay all or some of your New Jersey income taxes online via: New Jersey Division of Taxation. Paying your NJ taxes online on time will be considered a NJ tax extension and you do not have to mail in Form NJ-630.
- Complete Form NJ-630, include a Check or Money Order, and mail both to the address on Form NJ-630.
- Even if you filed an extension, you will still need to file your NJ tax return either via eFile or by paper by Oct. 16, 2023.
- Important: If you owe New Jersey and/or IRS income taxes and do not file an IRS and New Jersey tax return or extension by April 18, 2023, you will be subject to IRS and NJ late filing penalties. Estimate IRS late filing, payment penalties. In addition, if you do not pay your taxes by April 18, 2023, you will be subject to late tax payment penalties. Filing an extension on time will ONLY eliminate the late filing penalties but not the late tax payment penalties. Late filing penalties are generally higher than late payment penalties, thus file something on time even if you can't pay anything on time!
