I had no problem in the past. Just went to NJ website, didn't see anywhere I can check that they received my return or status. They never answered phone calls. I did find this sentence on their website:
"Generally, we process returns filed using computer software faster than returns filed by paper. Electronic returns typically take a minimum of 4 weeks to process.
Processing of paper tax returns typically takes a minimum of 12 weeks."
How can it be "minimum" of 4 weeks when Federal and NY can process on the same day?
I think I just have to wait now. Filing a paper return now is still considered late and if processing takes 12 weeks, I would be even more screwed. If I pay my tax now on their website, what if the state debit my account again when they process my return? I don't have enough money in the account for duplicate payment and getting the extra payment back would be even more of a hassle, I'm sure.
Never heard of TaxAct before. I moved to FL in December. Good thing I won't have to deal with NJ next year. So frustrating.
Thanks very much!
