Commencing with the 2005 tax year, electronic filing and payment of
the annual report will become mandatory. For businesses subject to
the corporation business tax, additional changes are also in effect:
- The
use of a paper Form CAR-100 will be eliminated.
- The
filing and payment of the annual report will no longer be included
with the filing of the corporation business tax return.
- The
formation or registration date will become the basis for filing.
(All other business entities currently use this date for annual
report filings.)
- Most
businesses subject to the corporation business tax will have a new
annual report due date. (See
Filing Chart)
A
notice will be sent to the registered agent of each business entity
prior to the filing date as a reminder of this filing obligation.
Information
about the online system
The online annual report system is available for use by all business
entity types. To
enter the online system, you will need your corporation identification
number and the month and year the business entity was originally formed
or authorized to do business in New Jersey. Prompts will direct you
through each segment of the filing.
The system will display the current information on record. You will
need only to verify if the information is correct or to provide the
necessary changes. The ability to update or change registered agent
information is also available. Payment options are e-check, credit
card and depository
account.
The system
will not only allow you to file the current annual report, but also
will reflect any previous year an annual report is outstanding. You
will be able to resolve all deficiencies at one time without exiting
the system or waiting until the next day to submit another report
to the account.
Upon
the conclusion of a successful filing, a confirmation number is provided.
You will be able to print the page for your records.
Standing
reports ordered with the online filing will be processed the next
business day and reflect the information from the electronic filing.
Updated status reports may be ordered in two business days.
Filing
online is quick, easy, and convenient. With your confirmation, you
have ensured that your business record is current and accurate.
