Your exemption is good for ONE year only. You must complete and submit a form each year certifying you have no New Jersey Gross Income Tax liability and claim exemption from withholding. If you have questions about eligibility, filing status, withholding rates, etc. when completing this form, call the Division of Taxation’s Customer Service Center at (609) 292-6400. Instruction A - Wage Chart This chart is designed to increase withholdings on your wages, if these wages will be taxed at a higher rate due to inclusion of other wages or income on your NJ-1040 return. It is not intended to provide withholding for other income or wages. If you need additional withholdings for other income or wages, use Line 5 on the NJ-W4. This Wage Chart applies to taxpayers who are married/civil union couple filing jointly, heads of households, or qualifying widow(er)/surviving civil union partner. Single individuals or married/civil union partners filing separate returns do not need to use this chart. If you have indicated filing status #2, 4 or 5 on the above NJW4 and your taxable income is greater than $50,000, you should strongly consider using the Wage Chart. (See the Rate Tables on the reverse side to estimate your withholding amount.) HOW TO USE THE CHART 1) Find the amount of your wages in the left-hand column. 2) Find the amount of the total for all other wages (including your spouse’s/civil union partner’s wages) along the top row. 3) Follow along the row that contains your wages until you come to the column that contains the other wages. 4) This meeting point indicates the Withholding Table that best reflects your income situation. 5) If you have chosen this method, enter the “letter” of the withholding rate table on Line 3 of the NJ-W4. NOTE: If your income situation substantially increases (or decreases) in the future, you should resubmit a revised NJ-W4 to your employer.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
