The State of New Jersey Division of Taxation and the application support electronic funds withdrawal of Form 630 extension payment via electronic filing.

Generating an Extension Payment

Use Screen NJExt to generate an extension. Per New Jersey Division of Taxation guidelines, if the extension reflects a payment amount, then the electronic record must include authorization for electronic funds withdrawal of the full payment amount on or before the original due date of the return as well as the proper bank information. New Jersey Division of Taxation also accepts extensions filed electronically without a payment amount.

Supplement Information

Screen NJExt:

Balance due calculation on return will be the amount used unless the Balance Due on Extension (Force) field has an amount entered when the Calculate extension is marked so any partially prepared return such as a return where some data has been shared into the return creating a balance due will have an extension fail if a bank transaction is not authorized for the extension. Use the Balance Due on Extension (Force) to force to zero when just filing an extension without a payment.

Extensions where the 80 percent of total tax liability due has not been paid by the original due date will not eliminate all penalties.
