State of New Jersey Withholding Tax

All employees, except those who file state income taxes with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, must file a form NJ-W4.

NJ Form W4 must be completed and signed before an employee can be paid.

NJ Form W4 indicates your tax filing status (i.e. single, or married); it also permits you to have additional money withheld for New Jersey State Gross Income Tax purposes.

The State of New Jersey has a reciprocal agreement only with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania relative to state income taxes.

If you live and/or file New York State income taxes, you must pay New Jersey State income taxes.
