Instructions for Form 320 Grow New Jersey Assistance Tax Credit Purpose of this Form This form must be completed by any taxpayer that claims a tax credit as provided for in the Grow New Jersey Assistance Tax Credit Act, N.J.S.A. 34:1B-242 et seq. If the taxpayer claims this credit on CBT-100, CBT-100U, or CBT100S, a completed Form 320 must be included with the return to validate the claim. The Grow New Jersey Assistance Tax Credit is available to businesses creating or retaining jobs in New Jersey and making a qualified capital investment at a qualified business facility in a qualified incentive area as defined in the Grow New Jersey Assistance Act. This includes affiliates of the business located in the qualified business facility and tenants that are businesses in the qualified business facility. The capital investment requirements, employment requirements, and amount of the credit vary by qualified investment area and industry type. Partnerships are not allowed the credit directly, but the amount of credit of each partner shall be determined by allocating to each partner that proportion of the credit of the business that is equal to the partner’s share, whether or not distributed, of the total distributive income or gain of the partnership for its tax period ending within or with the partner’s tax period, or that proportion that is allocated by a partnership agreement. The tax credit can be applied to 100% of the tax liability. The unused amount of the annual credit can be used during a 20-year carryforward. The business may also apply for a tax credit transfer certificate with the Division of Taxation to transfer unused tax credits from the Grow New Jersey Assistance Program from any year to sell the unused tax credits to another business. The tax credits must be sold for no less than 75% of the value of the tax credits, and the purchaser is subject to the same limitations and conditions as the seller of the tax credits. Unused tax credits may be carried forward for 20 years following a credit’s privilege period or tax year. However, a taxpayer may not carry over any amount of unused credit to a privilege period or tax year during which a corporate acquisition, with respect to which a taxpayer was a target corporation, occurred or during which the taxpayer was a party to a merger or a consolidation. Parts III and IV are used to calculate the allowable credit and carryforward. Taxpayers filing Forms CBT-100 or CBT-100S complete Part III and CBT-100U filers complete Part IV. Combined Return Filers If filing a combined return, this form must be completed by the member that earned (purchased) the credit. All combined return filers must check the combined return filers box at the top of the form and complete Part IV, Section A. Members Opting Not to Share. In general, tax credits are earned by a member of the combined group and are shareable with the combined group. However, members are not required to share their credits. See N.J.S.A. 54:10A-4.6.i and TB-90(R), Tax Credits and Combined Returns. In addition to Section A, members that choose not to share must also complete Part IV, Section B and fill in the oval at the top of the form to indicate they are not sharing the credit. Taxpayers must include the appropriate credit form in the year the credit was earned even if they are not claiming the credit on their tax return. Part I – Qualifications To be eligible for the tax credit, the answer to questions 1 and 2 must be “YES.” If the answer to question 1 or 2 is “NO,” the taxpayer is not entitled to the Grow New Jersey Assistance Tax Credit. A copy of the tax credit certificate and a copy of the completed Form 320 must be submitted by mail to the New Jersey Division of Taxation, CBT Refunds/Tax Credits, PO Box 259, Trenton, NJ 08695-0259. Failure to submit this documentation by mail will result in the delay and/or denial of the tax credit claimed. Part II – Calculation of Available Credit Line 3 – The amount of the tax credit is equal to the amount reported on the tax credit certificate that was issued by the New Jersey Division of Taxation. Part III – Calculation of the Allowable Credit Amount and Carryforward (for CBT-100 and CBT-100S Filers only) For CBT-100 and CBT-100S, filers, the allowable Grow New Jersey Assistance Tax Credit for the current tax period is calculated in Part III. Combined return filers do not complete Part III, and must complete Part IV instead. Line 7 – Taxpayers claiming multiple credits must list any credits already applied to the tax liability to ensure accuracy of the calculation for maximum credit allowable. Part IV – Calculation of the Allowable Credit Amount and Carryforward for Combined Return Filers For CBT-100U filers, the total and allowable Grow New Jersey Assistance Tax Credit for the current year is calculated in Part IV. All combined return filers must complete Section A. Members that choose not to share their credit must also complete Section B. Section A – To be completed by ALL combined return filers This section calculates the amount of credit allowable for the group. If a member chooses not to share their credit with the group, Section A must still be completed to ensure the credit allowed for the member does not exceed the amount that would otherwise be allowed against the group tax liability. Line 12 – Combined groups claiming multiple credits must list any credits already applied to the group tax liability to ensure accuracy of the calculation for maximum credit allowable. Section B This section is used to calculate the amount of credit allowable for members that choose not to share their credit with the group. Section B is completed based on the member’s share of the group tax liability. The amount of the credit is also limited to the amount that would otherwise be allowed against the group tax liability if the member had been sharing the credit. Line 17 – Members claiming multiple credits must list any credits already applied to the member’s tax liability to ensure accuracy of the calculation for maximum credit allowable.

New Jersey usually releases forms for the current tax year between January and April. We last updated New Jersey Form 320 from the Division of Revenue in January 2024.
Form 320 is a New Jersey Corporate Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.
About the Corporate Income Tax
The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.
Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).
Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
