State tax filing

Yes.

 

Part-year residents must use Form NJ-1040 and indicate the period of their New Jersey residency. The return should show only the income received during that period. Likewise, part-year nonresidents must use Form NJ1040NR and indicate the period of time they were residents.

 

If you received income from New Jersey sources during both your residency and nonresidency periods, you must file both a NJ-1040 and a NJ-1040NR. You must report the income you received during the time you were a resident on your resident return. Report the income received while you were a nonresident on your nonresident return.

 

Part-year residents must prorate all of their exemptions, deductions, and credits, in addition to pension and other retirement income exclusions, to reflect the time period covered by their return. (In this publication, prorate means to allocate proportionally over a set time period.)
