On April 1, 2020, New Jersey Governor Murphy, Senate President Sweeney, and Assembly Speaker Coughlin finally announced that the New Jersey state income tax filing deadline and corporation business tax filing deadline will be extended to July 15, 2020. This now coordinates with the IRS federal tax filing extension, as well.
In addition, the state’s budget will be extended to September 30, 2020.
New Jersey joins neighboring states Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New York that have previously announced a new state filing deadline of July 15. For the full list of state tax updates due to the Coronavirus pandemic, this AICPA is maintaining this PDF chart.
