We are aware of the urgent need of our taxpayers to have increased time and flexibility. Our agency is committed to providing assistance in addressing their tax obligations. We continue to work with taxpayers and practitioners to help maintain and promote tax compliance and evaluate the needs of our taxpayers to comply with New Jersey tax laws. Where businesses and individuals have not been able to report and pay timely, we continue to explore how we can restore their routine voluntary compliance.
We continue to operate with reduced staff throughout the Division. You may experience significant wait times or delays in response to telephone inquiries, email services, written or general correspondence.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. We remain committed to provide the best service we can and we thank you for your patience.
