State tax filing

New Jersey taxes certain benefits that are pre-tax for federal income tax purposes. The most common is the taxation of pretax retirement deductions for retirement plans other than a 401(k), such as a 403(b) plan.

 

I suggest checking with your payroll department before making any subtractions.

 

You can make adjustments on the screen “Other Wage Adjustments - W-2.”

 

Common New Jersey wage adjustments include: 

 

  • Employee elective amounts contributed to all types of pension plans other than a 401(k) plan
  • Cafeteria plan contributions
  • IRS section 137 adoption expense benefits
  • IRC section 129 dependent care benefits

You can make also adjustments in “Expense Reimbursements” if expense reimbursements were included in your taxable W-2 wages, such as meals and lodging, employee business expenses, and moving expenses.
