Nj 1040Ez Form PDF Details

The NJ 1040EZ form serves as a pivotal document for New Jersey residents, encapsulating the essentials of income tax filing in a more streamlined and simplified manner. Designed for the 2003 tax year, it contains a comprehensive architecture beginning with the request for personal information, including Social Security numbers and addresses, followed by a detailing of income sources such as wages, salaries, and tips, with a specific emphasis on excluding cents in calculation. Enclosures like Federal extensions, if applicable, underline the form's adaptability to individual taxpayer circumstances. With dedicated sections for both taxable and tax-exempt interest along with dividends, the form meticulously calculates New Jersey gross income, leading to determinations of exemption amounts and medical expenses. Subsequent processes meticulously derive taxable income, incorporating deductions such as property tax, to conclude with New Jersey taxable income. Additional elements like the filing status options, exemptions for various categories including age and disability, dependencies, and a notable focus on deductions from overpayment—spanning charitable contributions towards endangered wildlife, child abuse prevention, cancer research, and more—highlight the form's comprehensiveness. Moreover, the inclusion of a section for the New Jersey Earned Income Tax Credit indicates the state's effort to synergize with federal provisions, ensuring support for eligible residents. This complex but orderly arrangement not only aids in simplifying the tax filing process but also amplifies the diverse aspects of tax liability and potential benefits for the citizens, underscoring the multifaceted nature of state taxation systems.

When to File

Generally, your New Jersey income tax return is due when your Federal income tax return is due. For calendar year filers, the 2003 New Jersey income tax return is due by April 15, 2004.

You cannot use Form NJ-1040EZ if you file on a fiscal year basis.

Postmark Date. All New Jersey income tax returns postmarked on or before the due date of the return are considered to be filed on time. Tax returns postmarked after the due date are considered to be filed late. When a return is postmarked after the due date, the filing date for that return is the date the return was received by the Division, not the postmark date of the return. Interest on unpaid liabilities is assessed from the due date of the return.

Extensions

Extensions of time are granted only to file your New Jersey resident income tax re- turn. There are no extensions of time to pay tax due. Penalties and interest are imposed whenever tax is paid after the original due date.

Four-Month Extension

You may receive a four-month extension of time to file your New Jersey resident income tax return if at least 80% of the tax liability computed on your Form NJ-1040EZ when filed is paid in the form of withholdings, estimated, or other pay- ments by the original due date, and

1.Federal extension filed. A copy of your Federal Application for Auto- matic Extension is enclosed with your final return and the oval at the top of the NJ-1040EZ is filled in (if the ex- tension application was filed by phone or online, your confirmation number is entered in the space provided at the top of Form NJ-1040EZ); or

2.No Federal extension filed. You file a request for a four-month extension on Form NJ-630, Application for Exten- sion of Time to File New Jersey Gross Income Tax Return, by the original due date of the return.

2003 Form NJ-1040EZ

Form NJ-630 must also be filed by the original due date if you are required to make a payment to satisfy the 80% requirement.

Extensions Beyond Four Months If you have requested and been granted a four-month extension, you may apply for an additional two-month extension before the original four-month extension expires. You must file Form NJ-630 if you require an extension of more than four months for New Jersey purposes and you are not re- questing an additional two-month exten- sion for Federal purposes. Otherwise, enclose a copy of your Federal applica- tion for an additional two-month exten- sion with your NJ-1040EZ when filed. Taxpayers who file Form NJ-630 will not receive an approved copy. We will notify you only if your request is denied.

If you fail to satisfy the requirements outlined for extensions, or you fail to file your return by the extended due date, your extension will be denied and penalties and interest will be imposed from the original due date of the re- turn. See “Penalties, Interest, and Col- lection Fees” on page 16.

Military Extensions

Special rules apply to members of the Armed Forces of the United States and ci- vilians providing support to the Armed Forces. For more information see the in- struction booklet for Form NJ-1040 or Tax Topic Bulletin GIT-7, Military Personnel.

How to Pay

The balance of tax due must be paid in full by the original due date of the return. If you owe less than $1, no payment is re- quired. You may make your payment by check or money order, electronic check (e-check), or credit card.

Check or Money Order. You will find a payment voucher (Form NJ-1040EZ-V) at the front of this booklet. If you owe tax and are sending the payment with your 2003 return, enter the amount of tax due in the boxes on the payment voucher. Do not make changes to any information pre- printed on the payment voucher. Instead make any necessary changes on Form NJ-1040EZ. For information about mail- ing forms, see “Where to Send Your Re- turn” on page 15.

Make check or money order payable to State of New Jersey – TGI. Write your social security number on the check or money order. Use social security numbers of both husband and wife for a joint return. Send your payment for the balance due with the payment voucher in the same envelope with your tax return.

If you are paying a balance due for the 2003 tax year and are making the first in- stallment of estimated tax for 2004, please use separate checks or money orders for each payment. Send your 2004 estimated tax payment with an NJ-1040-ES voucher to the address on that payment voucher. Do not include the estimated tax payment with your 2003 income tax return.

Electronic Check (e-check). You may be able to pay your 2003 New Jersey income taxes or make a payment of estimated tax for 2004 by e-check. This option is avail- able on the Division’s Web site (www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/). Tax- payers who do not have Internet access can make a payment by e-check by contacting the Division’s Customer Service Center at 609-292-6400.

Refunds

A return must be filed to claim a refund for overpayment of tax. If the refund is $1 or less, you must enclose a statement spe- cifically requesting it.

Time Period for Refunds. You have three years from the date the return was filed or two years from the time tax was paid, whichever was later, to claim a re- fund. If you and the Division agree in writing to extend the period of assess- ment, the period for filing a refund claim will also be extended.

Interest Paid on Refunds. If the Division takes more than six months to send you your income tax refund, you have a right to receive interest on that refund. Interest at the prime rate, compounded annually, will be paid from the later of:

♦the date the refund claim was filed;

♦the date the tax was paid; or

♦the due date of the return.

No interest will be paid when an over- payment is credited to the next year’s tax liability, or on an overpayment or portion of an overpayment which consists of a New Jersey earned income tax credit.

New Jersey law requires that any money owed to the State of New Jersey, any of its agencies, or the Internal Revenue Serv-

DTAX TIP

Refunds - continued

ice be deducted from your refund or cred- it before it is issued. Homestead rebates may also be affected. These debts include, among other things, money owed for past due taxes, child support due under a court order, school loans, hospital bills, and IRS levies. If the Division applies your refund, credit, or rebate to any of these debts, you will be notified through the mail.

Deceased Taxpayers

You cannot use Form NJ-1040EZ if you are filing on behalf of a person who received

income in 2003 but died before filing a return.

Estimated Tax

Estimated tax means the amount which you estimate to be your income tax for the taxable year after subtracting payments, withholdings, and other credits.

You are required to make estimated tax payments using Form NJ-1040-ES

2003 Form NJ-1040EZ

Amended Returns

If you received an additional tax state- ment (W-2 or 1099) after your return was filed, or you discovered that you made any error or omission on your return, file an amended New Jersey resident return, Form NJ-1040X.

Changes in Your Federal Income Tax or Federal Earned Income Credit. If you receive a notice from the Internal Revenue Service that they changed your reported income, and that change altered your New Jersey taxable income, or if you receive a notice that your Federal earned income credit has been changed, and that change alters your New Jersey earned in- come tax credit, you must notify the Divi- sion of the change in writing within 90 days. File an amended tax return and pay any additional tax due.

If you file an amended Federal return which changes your New Jersey taxable income or your Federal earned income credit, you must file an amended New Jer- sey resident return, Form NJ-1040X, within 90 days.

Late Filing Penalty

5% per month (or fraction of a month) up to a maximum of 25% of the outstanding tax liability when a return is filed after the due date or extended due date. A penalty of $100 for each month the return is late may also be imposed.

Late Payment Penalty

5% of the outstanding tax balance may be imposed.

Interest

3% above the prime rate for every month or fraction of a month the tax is unpaid, compounded annually. At the end of each calendar year, any tax, penalties, and in- terest remaining due (unpaid) will become part of the balance on which interest is charged.

Collection Fees

In addition, if your tax bill is sent to our collection agency, a referral cost recovery fee of 10% of the tax due will be added to your liability. If a certificate of debt is is- sued for your outstanding liability, a fee for the cost of collection of the tax may also be imposed.

when your estimated tax exceeds $400. Instructions for computing the estimated tax and making the payments are included with the form. Review the amount of your New Jersey gross income tax on your ex- pected gross income (after deductions and credits) to determine if you need to make estimated tax payments for 2004.

To avoid having to make estimated tax payments, you may ask your employer to withhold an additional amount from your wages by completing Form NJ-W4. Fail- ure to file a Declaration of Estimated Tax or pay all or part of an underpayment will result in interest charges on the underpayment.

Underpayment of Estimated Tax. If you failed to make all of the required es- timated tax payments as described above, you should request Form NJ-2210, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Indi- viduals, Estates or Trusts. Complete Form NJ-2210 to determine if interest is due and if so, calculate the amount. If you complete and enclose Form NJ-2210 with your return, fill in the oval below Line 27.

Accounting Method

Use the same accounting method for New Jersey gross income tax that you used for Federal income tax purposes. Income must be recognized and reported in the same period as it is recognized and re- ported for Federal income tax purposes.

Rounding Off to Whole Dollars

When completing your return you must show the money items in whole dollars. If you have to add two or more items to fig- ure the total to enter on a line, include cents when adding the items and round off only the total. When entering the rounded total on the line, eliminate any amount under 50 cents and increase any amount 50 cents or more to the next higher dollar.

Penalties, Interest, and Collection Fees

Penalty and interest should be included with the payment of any tax due.

Keeping Tax Records

Keep copies of your tax returns and the supporting documentation of income, age and/or disability, deductions, and credits until the statute of limitations has expired for each return. Generally, this is three years after the filing date or two years from the date the tax was paid, whichever is later.

Privacy Act Notification

The Federal Privacy Act of 1974 requires an agency requesting information from in- dividuals to inform them why the request is being made and how the information is being used.

Your social security number is used pri- marily to account for and give credit for tax payments. The Division of Taxation also uses social security numbers in the administration and enforcement of all tax laws for which it is responsible. In addi- tion, the Division of Taxation is required by law to forward an annual list to the Ad- ministrative Office of the Courts con-

Line 15 - Dividends

Enter on Line 15 the amount of dividends received during the year from investments (e.g., from stocks, mutual funds) or other income-producing activities which do not constitute a trade or business. The total amount of taxable dividends received, re- gardless of where earned, must be reported.

You cannot use Form NJ-1040EZ if you re- ceived capital gains distributions from

mutual funds or other regulated invest- ment companies.

Tax-Free Distributions. A distribution which is a return of your investment or capital and does not come from earnings or profits is a nontaxable capital or tax- free distribution. These distributions re- duce the basis of the stock or investment and are not taxable until your investment is fully recovered.

Insurance Premiums. Dividends re- ceived from insurance companies are not taxable unless the dividends received ex- ceed the premiums paid. Any interest from accumulated insurance dividends is taxable and must be reported on Line 14a.

Line 16 - New Jersey Gross Income

Enter on Line 16 the total of Lines 13, 14a, and 15.

DTAX TIP If you were a New Jersey resident for the entire year and your Gross In-

come on Line 16 is $20,000 or less

($10,000 if filing status is single), you have no tax liability to New Jersey and no return must be filed. If you are filing a return only to obtain a refund of taxes withheld or estimated payments made or to apply for the New Jersey earned income tax credit, stop here. Continue completing the return with Line 23. See instructions on page 24.

NOTE: If you qualify, you may receive a New Jersey earned income tax credit even if you have no tax liability to New Jersey and are not required to file a return. See the instructions for Line 28.

Exemptions and Deductions (Lines 17 - 18)

New Jersey law does not allow deduc- tions for adjustments taken on the Federal return such as employee business ex- penses, IRA contributions, and Keogh Plan contributions. However, be sure to keep records of all contributions to IRAs and Keogh Plans. You will need this in- formation when you make withdrawals in future years.

Line 17 - Exemptions

Enter the total exemption amount you cal- culated at Line 12e.

Line 18 - Medical Expenses

You may deduct certain medical expenses that you paid during the year for yourself,

your spouse, and your dependents. How- ever, you cannot deduct expenses for which you were reimbursed. Only ex- penses in excess of 2% of your income may be deducted. You may also deduct qualified Archer medical savings account (MSA) contributions. Use Worksheet A to calculate your deduction for medical ex- penses/Archer MSA contributions.

Allowable Medical Expenses. Medical expenses means nonreimbursed payments for physicians, dental and other medical fees, prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses, hospital care, nursing care, medi- cines and drugs, prosthetic devices, X-rays, and other diagnostic services con- ducted by or directed by a physician or dentist. In addition, medical expenses may also include amounts paid for trans- portation primarily for and essential to medical care and insurance (including amounts paid as premiums under Part B of Title XVIII of the Social Security Act, relating to supplementary medical insur- ance for the aged) covering medical care. As a general rule, medical expenses al- lowed for Federal income tax purposes will be allowed for New Jersey income tax purposes.

NOTE: Do not include on line 1, Work- sheet A, contributions you made to an Ar- cher MSA or any amounts paid or disbursed from an Archer MSA that have been ex- cluded from gross income.

Archer MSA Contributions. Enter on line 4, Worksheet A, the amount of your qualified Archer MSA contributions from Federal Form 8853. New Jersey follows

continued

the Federal rules for this deduction. Your contribution may not exceed 75% of the amount of your annual health plan deduc- tible (65% if you have a self-only plan). Enclose Federal Form 8853 with your re- turn. Excess contributions that you with- draw before the due date of your tax return are not taxable. However, you must report the earnings associated with the ex- cess contributions you withdraw as wages on Line 13.

Line 19 - Taxable Income

Subtract Lines 17 and 18 from Line 16 and enter the result on Line 19. If Line 19 is zero or less, make no entry.

Property Tax Deduction/ Credit (Lines 20 and 26)

Eligible homeowners and tenants who pay property taxes, either directly or through rent, qualify for either a deduction or a re- fundable credit.

The property tax deduction reduces your taxable income. Your tax benefit varies depending on the amount of your taxable income, the amount of your property taxes or rent, and your filing status. To determine the actual tax benefit you will receive (how much you will reduce your tax liability) when claiming a property tax deduction, you must calculate your tax liability both with a deduction and with- out a deduction. The property tax credit reduces your tax due. The credit increases the total payments and/or credits on Line 29, Form NJ-1040EZ. These pay- ments and/or credits are subtracted di- rectly from your tax liability. Taxpayers who do not reduce their tax liability by $50 or more when claiming the property tax deduction should claim the property tax credit instead.

For recorded information on the property tax deduction/credit, call our automated TaxTalk service from a Touch-tone phone at 1-800-323-4400 (toll-free within New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Dela- ware, and Maryland) or 609-826-4400. You may also request our publication Property Tax Deduction/Credit Fre- quently Asked Questions. See “NJ TaxTalk” on page 43.

Eligibility Requirements. To be eligible for a property tax deduction or credit:

♦You must have been domiciled and maintained a principal residence as a homeowner or tenant in New Jersey during 2003; and

♦Your principal residence, whether owned or rented, must be subject to local property taxes, and property taxes must have been paid on that resi- dence either as actual property taxes or through rent; and

♦Your rented dwelling must have its own separate kitchen and bath facili- ties; and

♦Your gross income on Line 16 is more than $20,000 ($10,000 if filing status is single) or you or your spouse were 65 years of age or older or blind or disabled at the end of the tax year.

Taxpayers who were not 65 years of age or older or blind or disabled on Decem- ber 31, 2003, with gross income of $20,000 or less ($10,000 if filing status is single) are not eligible for a property tax credit.

Principal Residence. A principal resi- dence means a homestead, either owned or rented, actually and continually occu- pied as your permanent residence. No property tax deduction or credit is al- lowed for a vacation home, a “second home,” or property which the owner rents to someone else.

You cannot use Form NJ-1040EZ if you lived at more than one qualified New Jersey

residence during the year, shared ownership or rent with someone other than your spouse, or you owned a resi- dence containing more than one unit and you wish to claim a property tax deduction/credit.

Homeowners. You may claim a property tax deduction or credit for the home in New Jersey that you owned and lived in as your principal residence provided it was subject to local property taxes.

Condominiums and Co-ops. A con- dominium unit or a unit in a cooper-

ative housing complex or mutual housing corporation is considered a single-family dwelling for purposes of the property tax deduction or credit.

Continuing Care Communities. As a resident in a continuing care retire- ment community, you may qualify for a property tax deduction or credit as a homeowner if the continuing care con- tract requires you to bear the propor- tionate share of property taxes attrib- utable to your unit.

Disabled Veterans. Totally and per- manently disabled veterans who have a 100% exemption from local prop- erty taxes are not eligible for a prop- erty tax deduction or credit. If any portion of the dwelling is rented to a tenant and property taxes are paid by the disabled veteran owner on the rented portion, any tenant may be eli- gible for a property tax deduction or credit, but the property owner is not eligible.

Life Tenancy. You are also a home- owner if you have life tenancy rights or hold a lease for 99 years or more.

Tenants. You may claim a property tax deduction or credit for a home or apart- ment you rented in New Jersey and lived in as your principal residence, provided that the building is subject to local prop- erty taxes and your dwelling unit contains its own separate kitchen and bathroom. You do not qualify for a property tax de- duction or credit if you reside in a unit which only has access to a kitchen or bathroom.

Mobile Homes. If you own a mobile home which is located in a mobile home park, you qualify for a property tax deduction or credit as a tenant. For more information on mobile homes, contact the New Jersey Division of Taxation Customer Service Center.

Tax-Exempt, Subsidized, and Cam- pus Housing. Tenants living in dwell- ings which are not subject to local property taxes are not eligible for a property tax deduction or credit. This includes tenants living in tax-exempt housing or other dwellings owned by

the State, County, Municipal, or Fed- eral government; students living in on- campus apartments at State colleges and universities; and tenants living in dwellings owned by religious, chari- table, or other nonprofit organizations (including on-campus apartments at private nonprofit colleges and univer- sities), if the property is exempt from local property taxes. Do not enter a figure on Line 20 or Line 26 of the tax return. If you are not sure whether the dwelling you rent is subject to local property taxes, con- tact your municipal tax assessor for information. The Division of Taxa- tion audits returns to ensure that only qualified applicants claim the property tax deduction or the prop- erty tax credit.

Seniors or Blind/Disabled Persons. If either you or your spouse were 65 years of age or older or blind or disabled at the end of the tax year, and your gross income on Line 16 is $20,000 or less ($10,000 if filing status is single), and you satisfy the eligibility requirements, you qualify for a property tax credit in the amount of $50. If you have an overpayment on Line 31, complete the Homestead Rebate Applica- tion on the back of Form NJ-1040EZ, and your credit will automatically be sent to you with your homestead rebate. Do not complete Line 20 to claim a property tax deduction or Line 26 to claim a property tax credit.

If your income on Line 16 is below the minimum filing threshold (see page 13) and you do not have an overpayment on

Line 31, you cannot use Form NJ-1040EZ to apply for a homestead re- bate. You need to file Form HR-1040 or use another filing method (see back cover).

Gubernatorial Elections Fund

The Gubernatorial Elections Fund, fi- nanced by taxpayer designated $1 con- tributions, provides partial public financing to qualified candidates for the office of Governor of New Jersey. With its con- tribution and expenditure limits, the Gu- bernatorial Public Financing Program has since 1977 assisted 56 candidates to con- duct their campaigns free from the im- proper influence of excessive campaign contributions. Operation of the program has also permitted candidates of limited financial means to run for election to the State’s highest office. As a condition of their receipt of public financing, candi- dates must agree to participate in two de- bates which provide the public with an opportunity to hear the views of each can- didate. For more information on the Gu- bernatorial Public Financing Program, contact the New Jersey Election Law En-

forcement Commission at 609-292-8700 or write to:

NJ ELECTION LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION

PO BOX 185

TRENTON NJ 08625-0185

Lists of contributors to gubernatorial can- didates and copies of reports filed by gu- bernatorial candidates may be viewed on the Election Law Enforcement Commis- sion Web site at: www.elec.state.nj.us.

Participation in the $1 income tax check- off protects the continuity and integrity of the Gubernatorial Elections Fund by pro- viding that funds will be reserved for fu- ture gubernatorial elections thereby deterring the use of needed funding for other purposes. If you want to designate $1 to go to help candidates for governor pay campaign expenses, fill in the “Yes” oval in the Gubernatorial Elections Fund section of the return. If you are filing a joint return, your spouse may also desig- nate $1 to this fund. Filling in the “Yes” oval will not in any way increase your tax liability or reduce your refund.

Signatures

Sign and date your return in blue or black ink. Both husband and wife must sign a joint return. The signature(s) on the form you file must be original; photocopied signatures are not acceptable. A return without the proper signatures cannot be processed and will be returned to you. This causes unnecessary processing de- lays and may result in penalties for late filing or a delay or denial of your home- stead rebate.

Preparer Authorization.

Because of the strict pro- visions of confidentiality, Division of Taxation personnel may not

discuss your return or enclosures with anyone other than you without your writ- ten authorization. If, for any reason, you want a Division of Taxation representa- tive to discuss your tax return with the in- dividual who signed your return as your “Paid Tax Preparer,” we must have your permission to do so. To authorize the Di- vision of Taxation to discuss your return and enclosures with your “Paid Tax Preparer,” fill in the oval below “Your Signature” line.

Don’t Need Forms Mailed to You Next Year? Taxpayers who pay someone else to prepare their returns probably do not use the income tax return booklets mailed to them each year. If you do not need a booklet mailed to you next year, fill in the oval below “Spouse’s Signature” line. Telling us that you do not need a booklet next year will help us reduce printing and mailing costs.

Tax Preparers. Anyone who prepares a re- turn for a fee must sign the return as a “Paid Preparer” and enter his or her social security number or Federal preparer tax identification number. Include the company or corporation name and Federal identifica- tion number, if applicable. A tax preparer who fails to sign the return or provide a tax identification number may incur a $25 pen- alty for each omission. Someone who pre- pares your return but does not charge you should not sign your return.

dent homeowner in 2003. Include quali- fier if applicable. (Only condominiums may have qualifiers assigned to them.) You may obtain this information from your current property tax bill or from your local tax assessor.

Line 5 - Property Tax

Enter on Line 5 the total amount of prop- erty taxes paid on your principal residence in New Jersey during the year. Report only the actual amount of property taxes that were due and paid to the local taxing au- thorities during 2003. If no property tax payments were made by December 31, 2003, you may not claim a homestead rebate.

Residents of cooperative dwelling units must obtain from their cooperative’s man- agement their share of property taxes for the residential unit they occupy.

Residents of continuing care retirement fa- cilities may not include charges for any- thing other than their share of property taxes as specified in their continuing care contract.

Tenants (Line 6)

Line 6 - Rent

Enter on Line 6 the total amount of rent paid on your principal residence in New Jersey during the year.

NOTE: The Division of Taxation will cal- culate the amount of your rebate based on the information you provide. If you are also eligible for the NJ SAVER rebate, you will receive either a homestead rebate or the NJ SAVER rebate, whichever provides the higher benefit. Although the homestead re- bate and NJ SAVER rebate have similar eli- gibility requirements, they have separate applications which must be filed for each program.

For more information on how the homestead rebate is calculated, request Tax Topic Bul- letin HR-2, Homestead Rebate Guidelines.

Assembling Your Return

Be sure to check the following before mailing your completed return:

•Check your math.

•Check name, address, social security number, and county/municipality code for accuracy when using the label or writing information on the return.

TAXPAYERS’ BILL OF RIGHTS

The New Jersey Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights simplifies tax administration and ensures that all taxpayers—individuals and businesses alike—are better informed and receive fair and equitable treatment during the tax collection process. Highlights of the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights include:

Service—

♦Division must respond to taxpayers’ questions within a reasonable time period.

♦Notices of taxes and penalties due must clearly identify the purpose of the notice and must contain information about appeal procedures.

Appeals—

♦Time to appeal to the Tax Court is generally 90 days.

Interest on Refunds—

♦Interest is paid at the prime rate on refunds for all taxes when the Division takes more than six months to send you a refund.

♦You may request that your overpayment of this year’s tax be credited towards next year’s tax liability, however, interest will not be paid on overpayments that are credited forward.

For more information on the rights and obligations of both taxpayers and the Division of Taxation under the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights, request our publication ANJ-1, New Jersey Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights.
