For a limited time, the State of New Jersey is offering a
tax amnesty program to give delinquent taxpayers a chance to catch up on filing
and payment and save on penalties and half the interest due. The program runs until January 15, 2019.
Returns administered by the New Jersey Division of Taxation
that were due on or after February 1, 2009 through September 1, 2017 are
eligible for the program. Property taxes
and payroll taxes are not eligible. The
program helps taxpayers avoid most penalties, collection fee costs, and ½ of
the interest that would otherwise be due!
Civil fraud penalties and criminal penalties are not waived.
To qualify under this program, all required tax returns and
any associated tax amnesty payments must be received by the State by January
15, 2019. There are no extensions to
that date.
After the amnesty period, all penalties and interest will
apply along with an ADDITIONAL 5% penalty.

Amnesty webpage at https://www.taxamnesty.nj.gov/guidelines.shtml.
