NJ State Return

iritel — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 05:52:33 GMT

I am unable to efile me NJ return because turbo tax is giving me a message that "returns with pass through business alternative income tax credit are not eligable..". I have no business income, no form 8995, K1, Sched E...? This happened after I downloaded the update function this morning to get the final NJ DOP form so I could file. My federal return was already filed and accepted. Please advise. Thanks.

I am having same issue. I updated TT desktop for pc morning of 10/17/22. I did not get this error before update. I printed forms for submission. No 'pass-through business alternative tax credit indicated on NJ 1040 and no schedules indicating anything to this effect. Also watch out, the copy printed for review indicates that "NJ 1040-J" is attached. NJ-1040 is not printed out for review AND NJ-1040 indicates a tax preparer was involved (WAS NOT) and the tax preparer and I are 'opting' out of filing electronically. I have not indicated anywhere while using TT that I wanted to opt-out.

I will post an additional problem(s) I found in NJ-1040 forms separately as follows: The following are indicated as enclosed on the NJ 1040 I printed for submission. NONE APPLY: "Federal Extension Filed, The address above is a foreign address. Your address has changed. Death Certificate is enclosed." TO BE CLEAR: I did not file a fed extension, I have not moved out of country and changed my address, I am not dead.

Note a mistype in my comment: "NJ 1040-J" is attached. NJ-1040 is not printed out for review AND NJ-1040 indicates" SHOULD READ "NJ 1040-O" is attached. NJ1040-O is not printed out for review AND NJ 1040-O indicates"

I also got the same message that I can not electronically file my NJ return because of the Pass-through Alternative Income Tax Credit. I have already paid the fee to file the NJ return electronically.

So you mean we can ignore the warning message? The NJ forms will still be filed electronically at the end?

Please clarify. Thx.

Bypassing the error does not let you e-file. Ignore this advice because it’s incorrect.

I'm also getting the message "returns with pass-through business alternative income tax credit are not eligible for electronic filing TurboTax". Is this an error on TurboTax's end or what because I've never had this happen to me before. As of now haven't submitted anything to be filed.

No, the fee has been charged to my credit card but I am not able to file the NJ return electronically.

I tried to Emile despite the message, there is a pending charge against my credit card despite not allowing me to proceed with the email, so everyone do not try it.

Be Careful:

additional / related problem(s) I found in NJ-1040 forms separately as follows: The following are indicated as enclosed on the NJ 1040 I printed for submission.

Mountaineers27 — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 17:12:43 GMT

Which form specifically? And what is CX?

Same thing here...so annoying..Turbo Tax needs to fix it. If they don't guess I will file with a different software.

I'm getting the same error. This didn't happen before today's 2/17/22 update. I'm guessing its a bug in their program but call support to check into it anyway. I get this error on multiple returns I'm trying to efile for my kids. CRAZY!!!
