What to know about taxes in New Jersey
New Jersey has a top income tax rate of 10.75%, an elective pass-through business alternative income tax (BAIT), and an inheritance tax on some beneficiaries.
New Jersey residents file a state return alongside the federal one, and people who move in or out during the year, or earn income across state lines, often need part-year or nonresident returns. We prepare federal and New Jersey returns together so nothing is taxed twice.
