File for State of New Jersey Taxes

Your New Jersey deadlines will depend on your business structure, if you collect sales tax, or if you have employees. There are three main types of taxes your business may need to file:

  • Income Tax: Taxes collected on your business’s net income and profits
  • Sales and Use Tax : Taxes paid for the sale of taxable goods and services
  • Payroll Taxes and Wage Withholding: Taxes held on your payroll (if you have employees)
  • Specialty Taxes: Taxes unique to certain services or industries

Tax Information Packet

A tax information packet is available that includes the information needed to register your business with the New Jersey Division of Taxation. Descriptions of all state taxes are included, as well as tax tables and general state tax information. Employers can avoid future tax problems by knowing what the business tax responsibilities are and how to best meet them. For details or questions, call the Tax Hotline at 609-292-6400 or New Jersey’s Automated Tax Information System at 800-323-4400.

Sole proprietorships, general partnerships, and single-member LLCs will file their business taxes with their personal taxes.

Multi-member LLCs need to file information on their partners' gross-income tax .

C-Corp Businesses Filing Taxes

The State’s tax rate is 9% based upon the entire net income or the portion of the entire net income allocated to New Jersey.

Taxes for multi-state corporations are apportioned using a three-factor formula of sales, property, and payroll. In New Jersey, this apportionment is weighted at 50:25:25. New Jersey allows corporations to carry forward losses from prior years. New Jersey has research and development credits capped at 50% of tax liability.

Find out more about New Jersey's corporate tax rates . ‍

File C-Corp taxes with the New Jersey Division of Taxation

Understand Sales Tax

If selling taxable items or services in New Jersey, businesses are required to collect and remit a sales tax to the State. The sales tax rate is 6.625%. Reduced taxes (50% of the regular rate) may apply to transactions taking place within an Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) and involving a certified UEZ Business. Learn more about the New Jersey Sales and Use Tax and find the current rates .

You must file a New Jersey Sales and Use Tax Quarterly Return with Form ST-50 every 3 months even if no tax was collected during that particular quarter (note: If you had no sales during the quarter, simply file the return with all zeros).  

Some businesses will be required to make monthly payments for the first 2 months of the quarter ( Form ST-51 ). This applies to you if your business: 

  • Collected more than $30,000 in Sales and Use Tax in New Jersey during the prior calendar year; and 
  • Collected more than $500 in the first and/or second month of the current calendar quarter 

You can file the quarterly return and make payments online . Failure to file the return and pay the tax by the due date (on or before the 20th day of the month after the end of the filing period) may result in the assessment of interest and/or penalty.  

Certain production machinery and most packaging supplies are exempt from sales tax because of their intended use. You may use an Exempt Use Certificate (Form ST-4) when purchasing these items and pay no sales tax. Other common uses of the Exempt Use Certificate are listed on the back of the certificate.

NOTE: There are special exemption certificates for use by registered exempt organizations (FORM ST-5) and contractors doing work for exempt organizations (Form ST-13).

Withhold Wage and Payroll Taxes

If you have an employee that is a resident subject to New Jersey taxes, you need to pay payroll and wage withholding taxes. This is true even if your business is out of state. Read more about withholding taxes .

If you are unsure about the status of your employee and whether you need to complete payroll taxes, please refer to the circumstances listed under the ABC test .

File Specialty Taxes

There are other unique taxes you may qualify for; you should have identified these when you registered for State taxes. Examples include:

  • Admissions surcharge
  • Cigarette tax
  • Litter control fee
  • Tobacco and vapor product tax
  • Occupancy tax for hotels and motels ‍ ‍

New Jersey State Audits, Disagreements About Determinations or Bills

The New Jersey Taxpayers' Bill of Rights ensures you have the right to access information about your taxes, including details about your tax situation, how your liability is determined, any notices from the Division of Taxation, and your rights and responsibilities as a taxpayer. Here are the key points simplified:

  • Reliance on written advice: Penalties and interest will be waived if you can show that you reasonably relied on written advice from the Division that ultimately proved to be erroneous, provided the advice was not the result of your failure to provide adequate or accurate information.
  • Interview rights: You may have an attorney and/or accountant with you at any conference. You may record the interview if prior notice has been given.
  • Registered or certified mail: Final audit notices and "Notice and Demand for Payment of Tax" letters will be sent by registered or certified mail.
  • Payment agreements: Requests for payment agreements will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If a payment agreement is set up for you, it will include your unpaid tax, any penalties you owe, and interest. You should be aware that although a payment agreement extends the time to pay your liability, interest continues to accrue until the liability is paid in full.
  • Legal action against the Division: If a Division employee knowingly and recklessly disregards any tax law or fails to release a lien, a taxpayer may sue for damages.
  • Appeal rights: If you disagree with a determination made by the Division, you may file a proper, written protest and request an informal administrative conference with the Conference and Appeals Branch or file an appeal with the required fee to the Tax Court. ‍
  • Penalties, interest, and collection fees: Your first underpayment notice is comprised of tax, interest, and a late filing penalty (5% per month up to 25%). If a bill is not paid by the “Pay By” date indicated, an additional late payment penalty of 5% will apply. A $100 per month penalty also may be imposed for each month (or a fraction thereof) the return is late. The annual interest rate is 3% above the prime rate. Interest is imposed on every month or fraction of a month the tax is unpaid, compounded annually. If your tax bill is sent to our collection agency, a referral cost recovery fee of 11% of the tax due will be added to your liability. If a certificate of debt is issued for your outstanding liability, a fee for the cost of collection of the tax also may be imposed.

File Federal Taxes

Key dates and deadlines with the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will depend on your business type, how your business is structured, and whether you have any employees.

For more information about your Federal tax responsibilities, find information about business taxes by the IRS .

File ‍City, Town, and County Taxes

Typically, cities or towns do not charge business taxes directly. Revenues for the city or town come from property taxes, which a business owner may be responsible for paying based on the property you own or lease within the municipality.

There may be fees associated with owning a business within a municipality, including fire protection or mercantile licenses. When planning, you should do your due diligence to identify local ordinances that may apply to your business. Contact your Municipal Clerk for additional information.

Payment In Lieu of Taxes/Long-Term Property Tax Abatement

Property tax abatement reduces or removes tax payments for a specified period of time. The abatement is discussed in advance and requires the town to authorize it. This abatement is provided through annual Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT).

Use our chat feature to get further support on this opportunity.

Maintain Business Records for Tax Purposes

Though your specific business may require that you keep additional records, at a minimum, you will need to keep:

  • State and Federal tax returns
  • Requests for credit to vendors
  • Loan requests to banks
  • Balance sheets (a record of assets, liabilities, and capital)
  • Income Statement (a summary of your earnings and expenses over a period of time)

A qualified accountant can advise you on taxes and the health of your business.

You may also need the following documents:

  • Business Registration Certificate (useful if you are looking into public contracting) ‍
  • Standing Certificates (may be helpful to confirm corporate status)

A record-breaking January for New Jersey gambling, even as in-person casino winnings fall

Four major gambling revenue records were smashed in New Jersey in January

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Four major gambling revenue records were smashed in New Jersey in January as 2024 got off to a rousing start for everything except the thing casinos care about most: the amount of money won from in-person gamblers.

Internet gambling revenue, sports betting revenue, the total amount of money wagered on sports, and total casino-sports betting-internet revenue all set new records in January, according to figures released Friday by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement.

The total amount won by Atlantic City's nine casinos, the three horse tracks that take sports bets, and their online partners was more than $559 million, up 28% from a year earlier.

Much of that was powered by a historic month of internet gambling ($183 million, up nearly 20% from a year ago) and sports betting (nearly $171 million, up more than 136%).

However, those revenue streams must be shared with third-party providers, including tech platforms and sports books, and that money is not solely for the casinos to keep. That is why the casinos consider their core business to be money won from in-person gamblers.

Harsher winter weather in January 2024 contributed to in-person casino winnings that were lower than January 2023, when the weather was milder, said Jane Bokunewicz, director of the Lloyd Levenson Institute at Stockton University, which studies the Atlantic City casino market.

“It’s likely brick-and-mortar activity was diverted to online channels, boosting the internet gaming and online sports betting totals," she said.

The in-person total continues to decline, still lagging the levels seen before the COVID19 pandemic began in early 2020. In January, in-person casino winnings were just over $205 million, down 3.1% from a year earlier.

Collectively, that was higher than the total won from in-person gamblers in January 2019.

But it was due mainly to the strong performance of Atlantic City's three newest casinos: the Borgata, Hard Rock and Ocean, which were the only three to win more from in-person gamblers in January than they did four years earlier. That means two-thirds of Atlantic City's nine casinos are still not winning as much in-person money as they did before the pandemic hit.

“The success of online gaming and sports wagering continues to provide competitive advantage to operators even during Atlantic City’s traditional off-season,” said James Plousis, chairman of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission.

New Jersey's casinos and tracks took $1.71 billion worth of sports bets in January, smashing the previous record of $1.62 billion set in November.

The Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, near New York City, won $113 million on sports bets, up 137% from a year ago. Monmouth Park in Oceanport, near the Jersey Shore, won nearly $2.4 million, up 8.5%, while Freehold Raceway lost over $1 million on sports bets compared to a $1.6 million win a year earlier.

In terms of combined in-person, internet and sports betting revenue, the Borgata took in $107.6 million, up 1.6%. Golden Nugget won $63.5 million, up over 23%; Hard Rock won $51.5 million, up 19%; Ocean won $39.1 million, up more than 13%, and Tropicana won $26.1 million, up 4.5%.

Bally's won $18.9 million, up 15.3%; Harrah's won $16.5 million, down 17.5%; Caesars won $15.1 million, down 7.6%; and Resorts won $10.8 million, down less than 1%.

Resorts Digital, the casino's online arm, won $89.5 million, up over 69%, and Caesars Interactive NJ, another internet-only entity, won $5.7 million, down over 30%.

When just in-person winnings are counted, Borgata won $57.6 million, down 1.2%; Hard Rock won $37.3 million, up 3.9%; Ocean won just over $33 million, up 8.3%; Harrah's won $15.9 million, down nearly 21%; Caesars won $15.5 million, down nearly 8%; and Tropicana won $13.3 million, down over 18%.

Golden Nugget won $11.2 million from in-person gamblers, up 2.3%; Resorts won $10.9 million, down 1.4%; and Bally's won $10 million, down nearly 13%.

Winter storm: Heavy snow hits the Northeast, bringing travel hazards and more than 1,500 flight cancellations

What to know about storms in the northeast:.

  • A powerful winter storm hit areas from eastern Pennsylvania to Massachusetts.
  • Some 46 million people were under winter alerts, with the heaviest snow falling from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Gusty winds will remain and a few lake enhanced snow showers may impact parts of upstate New York and northwest Pennsylvania through tonight. 

There were many areas in eastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey that overperformed in terms of snowfall. Amounts from Allentown to Scranton in eastern Pennsylvania ranged from 10 to 15 inches. In northern New Jersey, snowfall totals ranged from 6 to 10 inches. 

In New York City, the total snowfall hit 3.2 inches in Central Park — which is the highest snow amount for the park since January 2022 — but areas north of New York City including the Hudson Valley saw 5 to 10 inches. Any slushy, wet or untreated areas may freeze tonight across the Northeast as temperatures drop below freezing.

Today's winter storm has descended on Long Island as the special election in New York’s 3rd Congressional District to replace Republican former Rep. George Santos is underway.

The storm has prompted concerns about reduced voter turnout in a race that is already expected to have a lower turnout rate.

Both candidates in the race — Democratic former Rep. Tom Suozzi and Republican Mazi Pilip — have urged voters to not let the storm discourage them from casting ballots.

In posts to X this morning, teams for Suozzi and Pilip said they are providing rides for voters who want to get to the polls in the snowstorm.

“No snow day for Team Suozzi! We are out and about giving voters rides to the polls If you need a ride — please call (646) 770-3557 Be safe. Vote Suozzi,” Suozzi’s campaign wrote in a post to X.

“There’s too much at stake in this election to stay home. Team Mazi is offering free rides to voting locations. Please call 516-662-4633 or visit https://maziforny.com/vote/ if you haven’t voted yet and need a ride to the polls. We’re counting on your support!!” Pilip’s campaign wrote in a post to X.

He advised residents to also take proper preparations to protect themselves from the storm, including staying off the roads for their own safety.

Heavy snow is expected to ease this afternoon

Satellite imagery shows the Nor'easter due to move over a huge swath of New England and the tri-state area before moving out to sea around 4 p.m.

Rain is transitioning to sleet and then to snow this morning across many areas, the weather service said.

East Pennsylvania, southern New England expected to be among the worst affected areas, weather service warns

The strong nor'easter storm currently dumping snow across the region will move out to the Atlantic later today — but not before bringing some severe winter weather to much of the region, the weather service said in an update.

The storm will "continue to rapidly deepen" and bring snow, with the worst-affected areas expected to be eastern Pennsylvania, including Lehigh Valley, northern New Jersey, southeast New York, including New York City.

Southern New England could receive between 6 and 12 inches of snow, with 3 to 6 inches expected elsewhere — enough to "produce locally significant travel disruptions" and possible power outages, the weather service said.

More than 40,000 properties without power across the interior Northeast

More than 27,000 homes and businesses in Pennsylvania and 11,600 in West Virginia were without power after 6:30 a.m. as heavy rain and snow caused disruptions across the region.

The PowerOutage.us website, which tracks power connections nationally, showed that more than 40,000 properties had no power in the Northeast, while power outages continue in the South.

Almost 10,000 properties were without power in Georgia and 8,300 in the Carolinas.

School closures and remote classes announced across the Northeast

Millions of schoolchildren across the region will be staying home this morning as dozens of schools choose to either close or deliver lessons remotely.

All public schools in New York City will have only remote lessons, a decision that affects some 1.1 million children across 1,600 schools.

NBC News outlets across the region have full school closure lists for Boston , Connecticut , Philadelphia and New York .

Philadelphia braces for 'heavy snow' during morning commute

Dennis Romero

The outlook for a swath of the I-95 corridor from Philadelphia to the New York City area includes the likelihood of moderate to heavy snowfall during the morning commute, federal forecasters said late yesterday.

The heaviest snowfall was expected in Pennsylvania and east of New York City south of Interstate 78 from 1 to 4 a.m., the weather service said.

A l ong band of snow from Philadelphia to New York City was a part of a weather service forecast graphic late yesterday. It applies to the morning hours today.

"Areas near & northwest of the I-95 corridor likely see moderate to heavy snow during the height of rush hour," the service's office in Mount Holly, New Jersey, said on the social media platform X.

"Please keep this in mind!" it said.

Forecast for snowy roads extends into parts of the South

As Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York City prepare for the Nor'easter's snow blitz, the weather service yesterday expanded its forecast for snow to include additional parts of the South and mid-Atlantic.

A winter weather advisory, which indicates that freezing rain or 2 to 4 inches of snow is in the forecast, was issued for areas of northern Virginia, the National Weather Service said.

A winter storm warning, which indicates that at least 6 inches of snow is expected to fall in a 12-hour span, was issued for communities in Maryland and West Virginia, it said.

The advisory and warning cover most of the morning hours today. Here's a map that includes the areas covered by the advisory and warning.

For much of the region covered by the weather service's office in Sterling, Virginia — it calls it Baltimore/Washington — rain will transform into "heavy, wet snow," it said.

"Travel could be very difficult," the agency said in a winter weather message.

MLB players dressing down Nike, Fanatics over new uniforms that look ‘like a replica’

FT. MYERS, FLORIDA - FEBRUARY 14: Nick Pivetta #37 and Lucas Giolito #54 of the Boston Red Sox talk with pitching coach Andrew Bailey during a spring training team workout on February 14, 2024 at jetBlue Park at Fenway South in Fort Myers, Florida. (Photo by Billie Weiss/Boston Red Sox/Getty Images)

The top story of spring training so far has nothing to do with the seams and stitches on a baseball. Instead, the talk of spring is all about the seams and stitches of the new jersey that Major League Baseball ’s on-field uniform provider has rolled out for this season: the Nike Vapor Premier.

Nike claims the new jersey is softer, lighter and stretchier than the previous model. Many players say it’s worse. In clubhouses around the league on Wednesday, they criticized the jerseys’ poor fit, cheap look, inconsistent quality and small lettering.

“It looks like a replica,” Angels outfielder Taylor Ward said. “It feels kind of like papery. It could be great when you’re out there sweating, it may be breathable. But I haven’t had that opportunity yet to try that out. But from the looks of it, it doesn’t look like a $450 jersey .

“So far, thumbs down.”

At his locker, Angels reliever Carlos Estévez was in a tizzy over the new threads. He pulled out a couple tops and pairs of pants to show that the shades didn’t match. He laughed at the spacing and shrunken nature of the lettering on the back of the jersey. And he bemoaned the fact he can’t customize his pants to his preference, the way pitchers once could, tailoring the fit to their big dumpers and tree-trunk thighs.

“When I wear my pants, I feel like I’m wearing someone else’s pants,” Estévez said.

“I could see Estévez (flexing),” Ward said, “and it just ripping in the back.”

This is what the back of the white jerseys look like with the new template. Players are pretty unhappy. Miles Mikolas says they also don’t fit right; pants are no longer as customized, and the fabric is a very different consistency. “They look cheap,” another player said. pic.twitter.com/UoH4vVHTfd — Jeff Jones (@jmjones) February 13, 2024

An airing of sartorial grievances that began earlier this week at the St. Louis Cardinals complex in Jupiter, Fla. has resulted in Nike, which engineered and designed the jerseys, and Fanatics, which manufactured them, facing blowback from big leaguers and baseball fans alike. The complaints prompted players to take their displeasure to their union, and the MLBPA is now involved in relaying the players’ concerns.

But anyone paying attention only to official channels would have little idea what the fuss was about. As that storm of criticism brewed in clubhouses, MLB and Nike ran a joint press release about the new jersey that included rave reviews from Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (“It’s almost like wearing my favorite shirt out on the field”), Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (“much more breathable, with vents on the numbers and better airflow all around”) and reigning NL MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. (“Feeling free in the jersey is the best feeling in the world”). All wear Nike gear in games. So do several other stars who have publicly praised the jerseys since Nike debuted them at the 2023 All-Star Game: Mike Trout , Kenley Jansen , Corbin Carroll and Jason Heyward .

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson , who has a Nike endorsement deal, said he reached out to Nike contacts Tuesday to discuss the new jerseys. He’s all for the new materials, he said, but some of the design decisions — like the specific shade of blue on the Cubs jerseys — are worth reconsidering.

“Cubbie blue is its own blue, right?” Swanson said. “This blue on the uniform is a little bit different than Cubbie blue. So how can we just recapture that?”

Swanson’s broader point was that in the design process, Nike may have removed some elements that make each team’s jersey their own. In Cardinals camp, for example, they lamented losing the chain-stitching of player names on the jersey.

“You wouldn’t change the font of, let’s say, the (Atlanta) Falcons,” Swanson said, referring to his favorite National Football League team. “They have a little bit of a futuristic block lettering. That’s unique to their jersey. You wouldn’t then go put that on the New York Giants jersey.” He added, “With some of those things, it’s like this makes a Cubs uniform a Cubs uniform. It doesn’t need to change. I think that they will probably have to end up figuring out a way to kind of go back to what it used to be.”

new jersey reports

It is unclear whether these uniforms will differ from those worn in the regular season.

Nike did not respond to a request for comment.

While the jerseys themselves have changed, the main parties in the creation process have been the same since Nike became MLB’s official on-field uniform provider in December 2019, reportedly paying more than $1 billion for a 10-year deal. (Under Armour initially won that bid, back in 2016, but that deal fell apart and Nike swooshed in.) Nike partnered with Fanatics — which had purchased MLB’s 2005-19 uniform supplier, Majestic, in April 2017 — to manufacture the jerseys. So the Nike jerseys are now produced by Fanatics, out of the same Pennsylvania factory where Majestic jerseys were once made. 

Chris Creamer, who runs SportsLogos.net, explained in an email Wednesday that it’s surprisingly common for one company to create jerseys for another brand like Fanatics is now doing for Nike. When Fanatics takes over as the National Hockey League’s uniform outfitter this fall, the Fanatics-branded jerseys will be manufactured at the same Quebec factory as the Adidas ones NHL players are wearing this season.

“The money exchanged in these deals is really just for that brand’s corporate logo on the jersey,” Creamer wrote. “The leagues or the companies involved don’t seem too bothered by who is actually producing it.”

A Fanatics spokesperson declined to comment.

Nike claims that in designing the Nike Vapor Premier it “body-scanned more than 300 baseball players to dial in the ideal fit — more athletic and form-fitting than the previous chassis,” which is clothes-speak for template. But a common complaint among players is that Nike has limited the customization of jerseys.

Pitchers, in particular, are huffing about their pants. Before last year, according to multiple pitchers, they had several measurements taken for their pants, which then were tailored. Nike has since simplified the fitting process, and tailoring is not on the table. (“You’re telling me that Fernando Tatis is going to be on the field without painted-on pants?” a pitcher joked. “ Robbie Ray with some baggy pants?”)

Some clubhouse managers have taken on the task of tailoring.

Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle, who fans have given the nickname “Tommy Tightpants,” has leaned into the look . He reached into his locker for his new trousers Wednesday and gave them a “stretch test” with his hands. Not tight enough. Kahnle hadn’t actually put them on yet, but he knew.

“I like the old ones,” Kahnle declared.

A Dodger said he was swimming in his pants.

A Tiger loudly complained, “These pants they made are terrible.”

Among the design tweaks Nike made to this year’s jersey, according to Uni Watch’s Paul Lukas , are stretchier fabric, changing home jerseys from white to a subtle off-white, narrowing the placket (the vertical strip on the front of the shirt upon which the buttons sit), altering the belt loops, moving the MLB logo down on the back of the jersey and reducing the size of the last-name lettering. The latter change has fans fuming and players scratching their heads.

Last year vs this year’s replica jersey offerings from the fine folks at MLB, Nike & Fanatics. Last year’s being on the left and this year’s on the right. I have a lot to say, so bear with me here. Let’s just rip the bandaid off right away with this year’s new jersey offerings pic.twitter.com/3IShhlj0nL — Bobby Mullins (@TheBobbyMullins) February 11, 2024

Tigers catcher Jake Rogers , who had no other complaints about the jerseys (“It feels good”), noticed that the lettering was visibly smaller this year. “You see an old jersey, my name was like this,” he said, gesturing with his hands, “using up a lot of room.”

“Look at the last names, bro,” Estévez said. “I’m 6-foot-6. This is going to look tiny on me.”

“I think the last names look really bad honestly,” a Cardinals player said. “I saw someone on Twitter said this looks like a Walmart jersey.”

Nike will sell three versions of the Nike Vapor Premier jerseys to fans: Limited Jersey (“inspired by the on-field jersey”), Game Jersey (“replica player jersey”) and Elite Jersey (“authentic jersey, as worn by player on-field”). Only the Limited jersey is currently available; an Acuña can be had for $174.99 .

Now situated at Cubs spring training in Mesa, Ariz., Swanson has been sort of stuck in the middle, privy to both complaints from players about the jerseys and chats with Nike employees about them.

“It’s one of those things where there’s good and bad,” Swanson said. “It’s hard to sit here and just blast them about it or praise them for it. There’s stuff on both sides, and I think the beauty is they’re willing to have those conversations. Obviously, if it’s a change of anything, initial reactions are always going to be (strong). But I do think there are some things that could be altered to make it better.”

Whether or not Nike makes changes, this jersey looks different. It feels different. It’ll take time, however, to know whether the Nike Vapor Premier is actually better or worse than the version before it. When Majestic in 2006 introduced its “Cool Base” jersey — lighter, moisture-wicking, more flexible — they felt thinner and cheaper, Creamer said. There were design complications. There was criticism. But eventually, everyone moved on.

Reds catcher Luke Maile said changing jerseys is like changing toilet paper.

“You notice it at first,” he said, “but after a while, it’s just your toilet paper.”

Nor’easter Expected to Bring New York City’s Heaviest Snow in Over 2 Years

A storm starting Monday night will bring heavy snow to parts of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, forecasters said.

Go here for updates on Tuesday’s storm.

Heavy snowfall will spread over parts of the Northeast starting late Monday and into Tuesday, with some areas expected to get up to two inches of snow an hour, National Weather Service forecasters said.

This is not a long lasting storm; the snow will come down quickly and in some cases pile up to a foot or more.

Even Central Park, which hasn’t been coated in a half a foot of snow or more since Jan. 29, 2022, could see the return of sledding, snowballs and snowmen by Tuesday afternoon.

Here are key things to know about the storm.

Snow is looking more likely for New York City, with the possibility of over six inches. It will start as rain in the city and will most likely transition to snow around the morning commute Tuesday.

There remains some uncertainty around when, exactly, the precipitation will change from rain to snow in the New York metro area, which would affect eventual snow totals.

The band of heaviest snow is more likely to fall over the coast of southern New England, National Weather Service forecasters in Boston said on Monday afternoon. Cities like Boston are less likely to receive a foot of snow as originally forecast.

Schools are announcing closures ahead of Tuesday’s storm. Boston Public Schools will be closed, according to the district’s website , and New York City Public Schools also announced that classes would be held remotely .

Snow is likely from the Mid-Atlantic through New England.

Early Monday, the Weather Service said its forecasters were confident that Connecticut and the Lower Hudson Valley would see at least six inches of snow.

The heaviest snow will fall in northern Pennsylvania and southern New York before tracking into southern New England on Tuesday, the Weather Service said.

Late Monday, the forecast was changing, with a greater likelihood that the heaviest snow could fall farther south across New York City and Long Island. Areas north and west of New York City could receive less snow than originally anticipated. However, exactly where the heaviest band might fall was still not certain.

Winter storm warnings were put into effect on Monday afternoon for New York City and Long Island, where forecasters expect at least six inches of snow.

How Much Snow To Expect

Look up how much snow you might get, how much snow to expect.

At a news conference on Monday afternoon, Mayor Eric Adams of New York City said the heavy precipitation was expected across all five boroughs starting late Monday night, leading to slippery roads and low visibility during the morning commute.

“We have not had any significant snowfall for quite some time,” Mr. Adams said. “The time has come. Mother Nature does what she wants to do.”

Strong winds and coastal flooding will also accompany the storm. Coastal flooding is anticipated for the Jersey Shore and Long Island, according to the Weather Service .

A winter storm warning was posted from Pennsylvania to coastal Massachusetts, where winds could gust up to 35 to 40 miles per hour and snow accumulation could reach up to 10 maybe even 13 inches. The storm warning is in effect until 6 p.m. on Tuesday.

Interior sections of northeastern New Jersey, the lower Hudson Valley and southern Connecticut can expect heavy wet snow with accumulations of up to 12 inches, with locally higher amounts, especially north of I-84, late on Monday night, the Weather Service said .

Forecasters warned that powerful winds and heavy snow could damage trees and power lines.

Possibility of severe winter weather Tuesday

Five to eight inches of snow were expected in the New York City metro area and Long Island.

The New York State Department of Transportation said it was monitoring weather conditions and was prepared to respond with an array of heavy equipment, including 1,544 large plow trucks and 36 snow blowers.

However, other areas had slightly different preparations in mind.

Dean Ryder, owner of Thunder Ridge Ski Area in Putnam County in New York, said he was getting ready for a potential influx of customers. He said the ski area could double its attendance after a big snowstorm.

Thunder Ridge hosts classes that regularly attracts skiers, but those are “nothing compared to a snowstorm,” when it comes to drumming up business, he said. “It’s just something about seeing it outside your window.”

Treasury Begins Mailing Applications for 2023 Senior Freeze Property Tax Reimbursement Program

Major Boost to Income Eligibility Limit Means More Residents Will be Eligible This Year

TRENTON - The Department of the Treasury’s Division of Taxation on Monday began mailing applications for the 2023 Senior Freeze Property Tax Reimbursement program, which has been significantly expanded for the 2023 filing season to increase the income eligibility limit substantially and simplify the residency requirement for new applicants. 

Senior Freeze reimburses qualifying seniors and disabled residents for increases in property taxes or mobile home park site fees on their principal residences. A new law passed by the Legislature and signed by Governor Phil Murphy, which was also part of the Governor’s FY23 budget proposal, expanded the program to increase the income limit for the program to $150,000 (previously $99,735 for the 2022 season), and eliminate the requirement that an applicant must be a New Jersey resident for 10 consecutive years.

The deadline to file 2023 applications is October 31, 2024. 

“With Senior Freeze, senior and disabled residents can choose to stay in the communities they call home without worrying about annual property tax increases,”  said State Treasurer Elizabeth Maher Muoio.  “This program makes it easier for many seniors living on a fixed income to remain close to their families and friends, and continue enjoying all the Garden State has to offer. We are pleased to be expanding the eligibility criteria this season to offer this benefit to more New Jerseyans.”

The Senior Freeze program is designed to relieve the burden of increasing property taxes for qualified applicants by establishing a base year of eligibility, and “freezing” the property tax at that level by comparing that base with any subsequent year. The difference is then refunded by the State annually. 

In order to qualify for the reimbursement, taxpayers must meet all the eligibility requirements for each year from the base year through the current application year. Eligibility must be continuous, otherwise a new base year must be established.

To be eligible for the 2023 Senior Freeze, a taxpayer must:

  • Be age 65 or older on December 31, 2022, or receive Social Security disability payments on December 31, 2022, and also on December 31, 2023; and
  • Own and live in their home or leased a site in a mobile home park for a manufactured or mobile home that they owned since December 31, 2019, or earlier; and
  • Paid all 2022 property taxes by June 1, 2023, and all 2023 property taxes by June 1, 2024; and
  • Their annual income was $150,000 or less in 2022 and $163,050 or less in 2023. With some exceptions, all income must be taken into account, including Social Security, pension, etc.

Applications for the current 2023 Senior Freeze program will be mailed to the last address from which taxpayers filed. Anyone who does not receive a booklet by March 15 should contact the New Jersey Division of Taxation's Senior Freeze Property Tax Reimbursement Information Line for assistance at 1-800-882-6597 (The U.S. Postal Service does not forward application booklets).

Additionally, qualifying residents have the option to apply online through a new direct online filing service created by the Treasury in 2023. Applicants can access the online filing portal at  njportal.com/taxation/ptr .

Treasurer Muoio also encourages residents to learn more about the many other New Jersey  property tax relief programs available .
