It's been >5 weeks and no NJ state tax refund; status says I should have received a Tax Notice w/ code CJW but I didn't receive this. What do I do now?

When did you file? There was a slight delay this year. New Jersey state started accepting and processing tax refunds on March 1, 2018.

I filed on February 12, 2018, so I guess there's still some time? All the documents the CJW code asks for have definitely been submitted thru TurboTax.

See answer below for contact information and more details.

Thanks, I contacted them but automated response wasn't helpful. Trying email.

You're very welcome! Let me know how everything turns out.

I have a similar issue. My online refund status says notice is sent to you. I have never not received the notice and it has been more than 12 weeks since I filed my return.

Call NJ, and ask them for the code. Then look it up here:

The State of New Jersey Department of Treasury states that, if you e-filed your return "it will generally take four weeks or more to process and validate. If you filed a paper return it can take up to 12 weeks to validate." However, New Jersey just started accepting refunds on March 1, 2018 due to refund fraud resulting from identify theft has increased, we are using additional tools to protect New Jersey taxpayers. These enhanced efforts could result in early filers experiencing a slight delay in receiving their refunds."

If you have received a CJW notice code you maybe required to electronically send through the New Jersey Online Notice Response Service or mail copies of the following documents:

• Your New Jersey Income Tax return (Form NJ-1040);
• New Jersey Schedule A 42 kb;
• All tax returns you filed with another state, city or town (if any);
• All W-2s issued by your employer(s);
• Any 1099 statement you have that shows New Jersey with-holdings to the following address: New Jersey Division of Taxation – CJW PO Box 438 Trenton, NJ 08646-0438

However, if you haven't received a CJW notice code but it's showing in your status contact the New Jersey Division of Taxation at 1-800-323-4400.

Go to New Jersey's Income Tax Refund Information page (click on the Online Hyperlink, then, continue) to check your refund status. It may take some time to show up in their system.
