Questions

New Jersey tax FAQs

10 answers about taxes in New Jersey.

Do you prepare New Jersey state tax returns?

Yes. We prepare resident, part-year and nonresident New Jersey returns and file them with the New Jersey Division of Taxation, together with your federal return.

When are New Jersey individual returns due?

Many states follow the federal April 15 deadline, but some set their own dates. We track the New Jersey Division of Taxation deadlines for you and file extensions when they are needed.

Does New Jersey have a sales tax?

Yes. New Jersey charges sales tax, and local rates can add to the state rate. We help New Jersey businesses register, collect the right rate and file returns with the New Jersey Division of Taxation.

What payroll registrations does a New Jersey employer need?

Employers generally register with New Jersey for unemployment insurance and state income tax withholding, plus any other state payroll programs that apply. We handle the registrations and the ongoing filings.

Do I need to make New Jersey estimated tax payments?

If you have income without enough withholding, such as self-employment or investment income, New Jersey generally expects estimated payments during the year, with its own thresholds and due dates. We calculate federal and state payments together.

How are LLCs and corporations taxed in New Jersey?

New Jersey applies its own rules to LLCs, S corporations and C corporations, and in some cases charges franchise, gross receipts or minimum taxes regardless of profit. We review how your entity is treated in New Jersey before you form it or make an election.

I moved into or out of New Jersey. What do I file?

Usually a part-year return for each state you lived in during the year, with credits so the same income is not taxed twice. Our multi-state filing service handles this.

Can you represent me with the New Jersey Division of Taxation?

Yes. In addition to IRS matters, we respond to notices and audits from the New Jersey Division of Taxation when you authorize us to.

Can a New Jersey business work with BATS remotely?

Yes. We work with New Jersey businesses through video meetings, secure document upload and cloud accounting software, so there is no need to visit an office.

Which New Jersey cities do you serve?

We have dedicated pages for Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth, Edison, Trenton, and we work with clients anywhere in New Jersey.
