And also, is it now true that if you don't itemize your federal return, you now MUST take the standard deduction for the NJ state taxes as well?
Thank You,

There is no standard or itemized deduction for the New Jersey tax return.
"In filing your New Jersey state income tax return, you are required to use the same filing status used on your federal tax return. There are a few circumstances that allow you to do otherwise, but generally the same filing status must be used on both returns.
"Federal deductions, such as mortgage interest, employee business expenses, and IRA and Keogh Plan contributions are not allowed on the New Jersey tax return."
