New Jersey recently released new updates to the NJ-WT, the New Jersey Income Tax Withholding Instructions. There were several changes to the document since the previous revision in October of 2020. The most notable of these changes are detailed below.
-
How to Withhold: A notation has been edited to state that the federal W-4 should not be used to calculate New Jersey withholdings because it does not allow for personal exemptions.
-
Notation that Electronic Filing is mandatory beginning with the 2020 tax year. All NJ-W-3, W-2, W-2G, and 1099 attachments must be sent electronically.
-
Two options to file NJ-W-3 and attachments:
-
File on the website
-
File using Axway system for secure electronic bulk filing
-
References added requiring 1099-NEC copies be filed along with Forms 1099-R and 1099-MISC, with Form NJ-W-3
-
Added electronic filing option for NJ-W-3 and 1099 to file on the New Jersey website coming soon.
