Set up your New Jersey filing

When setting up your New Jersey return, you'll need to provide the following information.

If you're unsure about any of this information, check your state Tax Registration Certificate or call the New Jersey Division of Taxation at 609-292-6400 (press 5 for Sales Tax and Other Business Questions. Be prepared to wait!)

Do you have a physical presence in New Jersey?

Physical presence may include: an office, storefront, employee, salesperson, contractor, warehouse, inventory, or trade show attendance.

  • If you answer YES, you'll be asked how many physical locations you have. You’ll then be asked to provide the address for your in-state physical location.
    • Note: TaxJar only supports users who have a single physical location in the state of New Jersey.

Your New Jersey tax account details

You'll need your sales tax registration information, which was provided to you by the state when you received your sales tax permit.

PIN or Passcode

Your 4-digit PIN or 6-digit passcode.

Tax filing frequency

Select the filing frequency assigned to you by the state.

You'll then see the first tax return we expect to file for you, based on the current date and the filing frequency you selected.

Review and submit

Take a moment to review your filing application. Once you've confirmed that all information is correct, click Submit.

Then: Give TaxJar third-party access to file for you

After you complete your filing application, you’ll need to log into the New Jersey Tax Portal to add TaxJar to your account:

  1. From the top navigation menu, select Profile Information, then select Manage Delegate Users.
  2. Select Add New Delegate.
  3. Enter the following details:
    1. Email address: filing@taxjar.com
    2. Tax Payer User Registration Confirmation Number: TU01000104587
  4. Select Next. Our TaxJar account shows the name Carrie Almany. Carrie is a Stripe team member and our point of contact for the account with the state.

You’ll then need to give TaxJar the required permissions:

  1. Select Taxpayer Authorizations. Check the box next to your business name. Set the Start Date as the first day of the current year, and leave the End Date blank.
  2. Select Tax Type Authorizations. Check the box for Sales and Use. Set the Start Date as the first day of the current year, and leave the End Date blank.
  3. Select Tax Type Functions. Check the boxes for the following functions: File Returns, Make Payments, View Tax Type Specific Correspondence. Then select OK.
  4. Select OK again in the bottom right corner.
  5. Select OK on the pop-up, then select Save on the User Details in order to submit the changes.
  6. After you return to the Manage Delegate Users, you should now see TPS UNLIMITED INC. listed as a delegate user.

What to expect next

After you give TaxJar third-party access to file for you, here's what will happen:

  • Under review: Within a few days, TaxJar will review your submission for accuracy and process your application.
    • IMPORTANT: Your TaxJar account is created using the email address associated with your Stripe account, so if the TaxJar team needs to contact you, this is the email address we use by default. (Follow these instructions if you want to change this email address within your TaxJar account).
  • Automatic filing enabled: After access is confirmed, TaxJar will process your application. Then you'll be ready to file.
  • File your first tax return: TaxJar will email you at the beginning of each filing period to review your return before it's submitted.
