EMPLOYER QUARTERLY REPORTS
 

The quarterly filing of the employer income tax withholdings and the UI/DI contributions is combined. Most employers will use Form NJ-927, while employers required to make weekly payments will use Form NJ-927W. You must be registered with the Division of Revenue to receive the forms or obtain authorization to file electronically. If your business is already registered but you now have employees, you may change your registration records, either online or by submitting Form REG-C-L which can be downloaded for processing. You will then receive the necessary information for filing.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Beginning in 2006, the State plans to have all new business registrants file and pay most employer-related transactions electronically, including the employer quarterly report. Options and instructions for electronic filing and payment will be provided.

ONLINE FILING
To access your online file to submit a return or payment, you will need to enter your New Jersey taxpayer identification number and either the PIN number indicated in your quarterly employer packet or the first four characters in your registered taxpayer name. The online format will be similar to completing a paper return. Online payment options include e-check, credit card and electronic funds transfer (EFT) and payments may be scheduled for a future date. You will be provided a real time confirmation in this secured site that is available 24 hours daily. Filings for prior periods and amended returns may also be submitted online.

TELEFILING
By calling 1.877.829.2866 and selecting option 2, you may use a touch-tone telephone to file the monthly and quarterly returns (Forms NJ-500/NJ-927) and make the related payments that are currently due. Returns and payments for the three quarters immediately preceding the current quarter may also be submitted using this system.

NOTE: Form NJ-927W cannot be submitted by phone. Employers filing Form NJ-927W must do so either online or by using a paper form.

PAPER RETURNS
The combined employer reporting and payment forms are controlled documents and cannot be downloaded from the web. If you elect not to file online or by telephone, you may call the Division's Client Registration activity at (609) 292-1730 or submit your request by e-mail for the paper document. You will need to include the name of the business, the tax identification number, business mailing address, tax period, and a contact telephone number for the request to be processed.

DOMESTIC EMPLOYERS
Employers of household (domestic) workers may report and remit income tax withholdings and unemployment and disability insurance contributions on an annual basis by using Form NJ-927H. This form may now be filed electronically via the online system (see above) or by using a touch-tone telephone. Telefiling may be used only for the current period and a confirmation number will be provided after a successful filing. Returns for prior periods may be submitted online or by paper.

NOTE: Form NJ-927H is only used to report income tax and UI/DI contributions for household workers. Employers with other types of employees must use Form NJ-927/927W for reporting purposes.

SEASONAL EMPLOYERS
There are no special provisions for seasonal businesses. Seasonal employers, like all employers must file a report even if there is no liability for the period.
