Solved: My husband rolled over from a 401K to an SEP IRA as he no longer works. Is this the same as a SIMPLE IRA? Do I have to enter this for my NJ taxes?

A SEP is not the same as Simple IRA, but they are similar. If he did a direct rollover or took a distribution and deposited the funds in the SEP within 60 days, then it is not taxable for federal or state. He should have received a 1099-R, which will have to be reported, but just be sure to answer the question "What did you do with the money?" properly. See screen shots below.
