Get in touchYou are required to file a New Jersey state income tax return if your gross income exceeds certain thresholds:
Even if your income is below these thresholds, you should file a return if:
If you moved into or out of New Jersey during the tax year, you are considered a part-year resident and must file a return for the period you resided in the state. Nonresidents who earned income from New Jersey sources must also file a state tax return.
Understanding these requirements helps ensure accurate and timely filing of your New Jersey tax return.
At GTA Accounting Group, tax filing should be clear, accurate, and stress-free. Whether you’re filing a simple return or handling multiple income sources, our process is designed to guide you every step of the way.
Here’s how we help you file with confidence:
We start with a brief call or meeting to understand your tax situation—whether you’re an employee, self-employed, retired, or running a business. We’ll also identify any significant life changes that could impact your return, such as a new job, home purchase, or change in marital status.
We provide a checklist to help you organize all the necessary documents, including W-2s, 1099s, investment reports, business records, rental income, and more. You can upload them securely through our portal or bring them in person.
We look closely at last year’s returns to catch missed deductions, ensure accuracy, and address any carryforward items that might affect this year’s filing.
We carefully prepare your federal and New Jersey state returns—checking for all eligible credits, deductions, and tax-saving opportunities. We'll appropriately document your income and expenses if you own a business or rental property.
Once your return is ready, we will review it in detail, either in person or via phone or video conference (Zoom). You’ll have a chance to ask questions, make updates, and approve the final version.
With your approval, we electronically file your returns with the IRS and the NJ Division of Taxation. You’ll receive confirmation that everything has been submitted, along with a copy for your records.

Filing your tax return might seem straightforward—but simple mistakes can lead to delays, penalties, or missed refunds. At GTA Accounting Group, we help you avoid these common errors, allowing you to file with confidence and peace of mind.
Some people incorrectly file a federal return without a matching NJ return—or vice versa. Others use the wrong form altogether (like a resident form when they’re part-year). We ensure you file the correct forms based on your residency and income type.
Unreported income—like side jobs, freelance gigs, or out-of-state earnings—can trigger notices or audits. We help you report all income accurately and verify that your federal and state totals are accurate and match.
New Jersey doesn’t follow all federal tax rules. For example, you can’t deduct mortgage interest or traditional IRA contributions on your NJ return. We identify which deductions apply and which don’t—so you don’t claim something the state will reject.
New Jersey offers valuable tax relief to residents who pay property taxes or rent on their primary home, but many people forget to claim it. We ensure you apply for these savings if you are eligible.
Filing as “Single” instead of “Head of Household” or failing to list a qualified dependent can cost you credits. We review your family structure and ensure your return correctly reflects your situation.
You'll face penalties and interest if you owe taxes and file late. If you're self-employed or have non-W-2 income, failing to make quarterly estimated payments can result in underpayment penalties. We keep you on track with dates and reminders.
