How to Use the NJ-1040-V Payment Voucher
Learn the correct procedure for using the NJ-1040-V payment voucher to ensure your mailed New Jersey tax payment is properly processed and credited.
The NJ-1040-V is a payment voucher for individuals who owe taxes on their New Jersey personal income tax return, Form NJ-1040. This document is a transmittal slip that accompanies a check or money order to ensure your payment is correctly applied to your tax account. This voucher is only necessary when you have a balance due and choose to pay by mail.
Preparing Your NJ-1040-V Payment Voucher
To complete the NJ-1040-V, you will need information from your finalized NJ-1040 tax return. The voucher requires your Social Security number, name, address, and the amount of tax you owe. If you are filing a joint return, you must use the Social Security number that is listed first on the NJ-1040. The current year’s voucher can be downloaded from the New Jersey Division of Taxation’s website.
Once you have the form, accurately transfer the information into the designated boxes. Enter your Social Security number, full name, and mailing address in the specified fields. You must also write the total tax due as calculated on your NJ-1040 in the payment amount box.
Mailing Your Voucher and Payment
Make your check or money order payable to the “State of New Jersey – TGI.” On the memo line of your check, write your Social Security number and the tax year for which you are paying. Do not staple or attach your check to the voucher.
The mailing address you use depends on how you filed your tax return.
If you are filing a paper tax return and paying by mail, send your NJ-1040 return, the completed NJ-1040-V, and your payment together in one envelope to:
State of New Jersey
Division of Taxation
Revenue Processing Center
PO Box 111
Trenton, NJ 08645-0111
If you filed your tax return electronically and are paying by mail, send only the NJ-1040-V and your payment to this address:
State of New Jersey
Division of Taxation
Revenue Processing Center – Payments
PO Box 643
Trenton, NJ 08646-0643
Alternative NJ Tax Payment Options
The New Jersey Division of Taxation offers several electronic payment methods if you prefer not to mail a check. You can pay your tax liability online using an electronic check (e-check) or a credit or debit card through the state’s official payment portal. These online options provide immediate confirmation that your payment has been received.
Paying by e-check, which directly debits your bank account, is free of charge. If you choose to pay with a credit or debit card, a third-party service provider will process the transaction, and a convenience fee will apply. This fee is a percentage of your total tax payment, and these electronic methods eliminate the need for the NJ-1040-V voucher.
