Question

NJ E Filing Error Message

Forum|Forum|4 years ago

I am getting an error message when attempting to file a NJ-1040. It says that "returns with pass through business alternative income tax credits are not eligible for electronic filing"

The return in question has so such credit - is anyone else seeing a similar issue?

Thank you

Yes. I'm seeing the same thing this morning. driving me nuts trying to figure out where its coming from. Does not apply to me.

Yes, I get the same error message. Must be a bug in TT because line 62 on the NJ-1040 is zero.

Did you have any Qualified Business Income? I earned $0.71 from a nondividend distribution from a REIT stock I own via my Robinhood brokerage account. This allowed me to get the Qualified Business Income Deduction of $2 on my federal return. The federal form for this deduction is called the 8995 form. Was this a form on your federal tax return? My guess is this is why I am running into this issue with my NJ state return.

I didn't have a Form 8995 as part of my Federal return.

Same issue, unreal how this was overlooked on their end.

hmmmm Given NJ efile refunds process take 4 weeks; and 12 weeks if manual/mailed, one might wonder whether NJ State asked TT to "hold things up a bit if a refund is due"

I agree Broncos07940...seems a bit suspicious to me

I am getting the same issue. I was able to file my federal return, but the system said I needed to wait until Feb 17th to file the NJ state return because of a form from NJ was not into TT yet. Maybe NJ hasn't sent the form to TT yet?

I also have same issue. I guess I will still wait to file as I should be able to efile as well as this issue does not apply to me. I employed and have no business income that should have triggered this. I hope someone will update us when this issue is solved!

Exactly the same situation as every body here, update after 2/17, then the warming showed up. TurboTax agents please take a look.

Same issue but I have been retired for 22 years and aside from some investing activity which TT said I needed the form for but had to wait to file. Form available today but says I can not e file. No actual business expense or income. NO Business.

I am getting the same message after updating Turbo Tax this morning (2/17/2022). Ready to file my daughters Fed and State returns and can not efile NJ due to this error. Is there a hot line I can call that anyone knows.

please make sure development also addresses this which I really suspect is related. In any case I can't file if this is part of my submission:

After the message about being ineligible to e-file, I printed a copy for final review, I saw that TT erroneously indicated the following were part of what I was about to submit:

Federal extension filed.
The address above is a foreign address.
Your address has changed.
Death certificate is enclosed.
I authorize the Division of Taxation to discuss my return and enclosures with my preparer

NJ-1040-O is enclosed.

TO BE CLEAR, these are erroneous. Among other things, I am not dead.
