State returns typically take longer than federal returns. Keep an eye on it to make sure it is not rejected.

4 days and waiting  for the status to change . Is there an issue with Turbo Tax for NJ state tax return ? Who from Turbo Tax can look at this ? Calling customer service is no help as it's not connecting to a live agent .

several filers have been reporting here that NJ e-file is stuck at PENDING.

What if the NJ return is rejected after the due date?  Should I file an extension request? I assume the payment date I selected of 4/18 will be honored even if the money is withdrawn from my account after 4/18.  Thoughts?

I filed on the 18th and still pending as of today.  My NY and Federal were accepted w/in a few hours.  Hopefully, everyone finds some resolution to this.  

 

I tried entering my info on the NJ taxation website but says they don't have anything r/t my social.  

 

OP did yours finally get accepted?

... I feel a little better knowing everyone else is experiencing the same thing.  But yeah, it's never taken this long ... and you would think they want their darn money

I filed my NJ return on 4/18 along with my sons, and both of ours are still pending as well.  I can only assume NJ is really behind.  I would have been more worried if I didn't see so many others pending also.

And as of today, Wednesday, April 29, 2022 @9:30 am ,  the NJ STATE return is still in pending status.

 

Has anyone's return filed on 4/18/22 or later been accepted by NJ STATE??  or is it just me??

I filed 4/18 and I'm still pending as of 10a this morning ... seems like a lot of us are in the same boat
