New Jersey
now offers individuals two ways to file their state income tax return
electronically. The NJFastFile options
are:
| NJWEBFile - |
File
online – free.
The secure site is provided by the NJ Division of Taxation.
|
| NJE-File
- |
Ask your tax preparer
or use an approved commercial tax software package yourself. |
If
you have requested an extension, you will still be able to file
your 2009 return electronically. Both NJWebFile
and NJE-File may still be used
through October 15, 2010.
Some of the benefits of
using electronic filing include automatic calculation of the return
which reduces possible errors; scheduled payments up to the due date;
and confirmation of the filing. Not only are these methods convenient,
but you’ll also get your refund faster when you file electronically.
In addition, electronic
filing is also available for federal income tax returns. Free tax
preparation and e-filing services are offered by some private sector
firms through a partnership with the IRS. Some of these services also
include free state filing.
This year, over 2.7 million 2008 returns have been filed electronically.
All
individuals and firms must use one of the electronic filing
services if they had filed 25 or more resident returns for the
2008 tax period. Nonresident, part-year resident, amended, prior-year,
and fiduciary returns are not included in this requirement for
the 2009 income tax filing season.
