2015 Form NJ-1040X
Line-by-Line Instructions
Use of Form NJ-1040X
You must use Form NJ-1040X for the appropriate tax year to
change (amend) any information reported on your original resi-
dent income tax return (Form NJ‑1040 or return that was led
using NJ WebFile or approved vendor software). If you have
already led a 2015 resident income tax return, and you need
to change any of the information reported or provide informa-
tion that was missing, you must use the 2015 Form NJ‑1040X.
Failure to use Form NJ-1040X to amend a resident return will
delay the processing of your return and/or refund.
Note: You must ll out both the “As Originally Reported”
and “Amended” columns of Form NJ-1040X com-
pletely, even though certain items in the “Amended”
column are not being amended.
Time Period for Refunds. Amended returns claiming a refund
must be led within three years from the time the return was
led or two years from the time the tax was paid, whichever is
later. If the return is not received within this time limit, it will be
considered out of statute and the refund claim will be disallowed.
Amending Nonresident Returns. New Jersey does not have
a separate form for amending nonresident returns. To amend a
nonresident return, use Form NJ‑1040NR for the appropriate
tax year and write “amended” across the top. Do not use Form
NJ-1040X to amend a nonresident return.
Enclosures with Form NJ-1040X
If you are amending an item of income, deduction, or credit that
requires supporting documents, you must enclose the applicable
schedule or form when ling Form NJ‑1040X.
Forms W-2 and 1099. You must enclose copies of your W‑2s
and/or 1099s with Form NJ-1040X if you are amending (by
increasing) taxes withheld or if you are claiming excess New
Jersey unemployment insurance/workforce development partner-
ship fund/ supplemental workforce fund contributions, family
leave insurance contributions, and/or disability insurance
contributions.
Returns Filed Electronically. If you led your original re-
turn electronically, enclose with Form NJ‑1040X all support-
ing schedules or forms (W‑2, Schedules A & B, NJ‑BUS‑1,
NJ‑BUS‑2, NJK‑1, etc.) that you would have enclosed if you had
led the original return on paper — including those that support
items that are not being amended.
When to File
File Form NJ-1040X only after you have led your original
resident income tax return and you must make changes to
the original return. You cannot use Form NJ‑1040X to le an
original resident return.
Where to File
Mail Amended Returns (Form NJ-1040X) to:
State of new JerSey
diviSion of taxation
revenue ProceSSing center
Po Box 664
trenton nJ 08646-0664
Name and Social Security Number
Your name and social security number must be entered on Form
NJ-1040X and all accompanying schedules. If there is a balance
due with the return and you are paying by check or money order,
enter the amount of your payment in the boxes below the sig-
nature line on the front of the return. Write your social security
number on the check or money order. If you are ling a joint
return, include both social security numbers.
Taxpayer Signature
You must sign and date your Form NJ-1040X in blue or black
ink. Both husband and wife/civil union partners must sign a joint
amended return. A return without the proper signatures cannot be
processed.
Tax Preparers
Anyone who prepares a return for a fee must sign the return as
a “Paid Preparer” and enter his or her social security number or
Federal pre parer tax identication number. Include the company
or corporation name and Federal identication number if appli-
cable. A tax preparer who fails to sign the return or provide a tax
identication number may incur a $25 penalty for each omission.
Calendar Year or Fiscal Year Ended
Like the resident income tax return, Form NJ‑1040X is differ-
ent for each year. The calendar year or scal year must be the
same as the year covered by the original return which is being
amended. To illustrate: John Smith discovers an error on his
2014 New Jersey resident income tax return while preparing his
tax return for 2015. To correct the error on his 2014 tax return,
he must le Form NJ‑1040X for tax year 2014. The calen dar
year on his NJ‑1040X will be 2014 even though he is preparing
the NJ‑1040X in 2016.
Name and Address
Print or type your name(s), complete address, and zip code in
the space provided on the return. If ling jointly, list the names
of both spouses/civil union partners in the same order as on
the original return. Check the “Change of Address” box if your
address has changed since the last time you led a New Jersey
return.
Social Security Number
Enter your correct social security number in the space provided
on the return. If you are married or a civil union couple and
ling a joint amended return, report both lers’ numbers in the
order in which the names were listed on the original return. If
you are ling separately, you must also enter your spouse’s/civil
2
Line-by-Line Instructions
union partners social security number. If the social security
number(s) is different than that reported on your original return,
indicate the origi nal number(s) in the space provided on Page 3
of Form NJ-1040X.
County/Municipality Code
See “County/Municipality Code” in the instructions for Form
NJ-1040.
NJ Residency Status
If this amended return does not cover a 12‑month period, list the
month, day, and year your residency began and the month, day,
and year it ended.
Filing Status (Lines 1 – 5)
See “Filing Status” in the resident income tax return instructions.
Be sure to indicate your ling status in both the “On Original
Return” and the “On Amended Return” columns, even if you are
not amending your ling status. If your original return was led
separately and you are ling a joint amended return, indicate
both lers’ original ling information in the space provided on
Page 3 of Form NJ-1040X.
Note: You cannot change your ling status after the due date
for ling the original return has passed unless you have
done so for Federal income tax purposes.
Exemptions (Lines 6 – 12)
See “Exemptions” in the resident income tax return instructions.
You must complete both the “As Originally Reported” and
“Amended” columns, even if you are not amending the number
of exemptions reported on the original resident income tax return
led. Enter on Line 12a the total of Lines 6, 7, 8, and 11 in each
column. Enter on Line 12b the total of Lines 9 and 10 in each
column.
Compute the amount of your personal exemption allowance on
Line 29 by following these three steps:
1. Multiply the total number of exemptions on Line 12a by
$1,000.
2. Multiply the total number of exemptions on Line 12b by
$1,500.
3. Add the total amount from steps 1 and 2 and enter the result
on Line 29. Part‑year residents must prorate the amount to be
entered in each column on Line 29 based on the number of
months as a New Jersey resident. For this calcu lation, 15 days
or more is a month.

Dependent Information - Line 13
Enter on
Line

year for each dependent claimed. Also, check the box for each
dependent who did not have health insurance coverage (includ-
ing NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid, Medicare, private, or other health
insurance) on the date the original return was led. Do not
check the box for any dependents who had health insurance.
If you have more than four dependents, enter the required
information for the rst four dependents on
Lines
13a - d and
enclose a statement with the return listing the information for the
additional dependents.
Gubernatorial Elections Fund
If you checked “Yes” on your original return, omit this section.
If you did not check “Yes” on your original return and now want
to do so, check the appropriate box. See “Gubernatorial Elec-
tions Fund” in the resident income tax return instructions for an
explanation of the Gubernatorial Elections Fund. Checking the
box(es) will not increase your tax or reduce your refund.
Income and Deductions
(Lines 14 – 38)
You must complete both the “As Originally Reported” and
“Amended” columns fully, even if you are not amending all
the line items through Line 58. To illustrate: John Smith does
not wish to amend Line 16 on his Form NJ‑1040X but he is
amending Line 17.
John Smith should complete Line 16 and Line 17 as follows:
See the line‑by‑line instructions for “Income,” “ Exemptions and
Deductions,” and “Eligibility for the Property Tax Deduction/
Credit” in the instructions for Form NJ-1040.
Part‑year residents are subject to tax on all income received
while residents of New Jersey and must prorate their exemp-
tions, deductions, credits, and exclusions to reect the period
covered by the return. (See “Part‑Year Residents” in the instruc-
tions for Form NJ-1040.)
Tax Computation - Line 40
Compute your State tax by using the Tax Rate Schedules on
page 3. Choose the correct table for your ling status. Multiply
the New Jersey Taxable Income (
Line
39) by the applicable tax
rate, subtract the proper amount shown on the chart, and enter
the result on
Line
40. If your taxable in come on
Line
39 is under
$100,000, you may use the Tax Table in the resident income tax
return instructions (Form NJ-1040) to determine your tax instead
of the Tax Rate Schedules.

If you are amending your credit for income taxes paid to other
juris dic tions, complete the calculations on Page 3 of Form
NJ‑1040X with your amended gures. See the Form NJ‑1040
instruc tions for information on calculating the credit.
New Jersey Earned Income Tax Credit -
Line 51
If you are amending your return to apply for the New Jersey
earned income tax credit, you must enter an amount on each line

ditional documentation to support your claim.
Refund Previously Issued From Original
Return - Line 57
If you were previously issued a refund for your 2015 resident
return, enter the amount of the refund you actually received in
both columns, “As Originally Reported” and “Amended.” This
amount may be different than the amount originally requested on
Form NJ‑1040. If you were not previously issued a refund, make
no entry.
Balance Due or Refund (Lines 59 and 60)
Payments. If your New Jersey Total Tax and Penalty (Line 47)
is larger than your Net Payments (Line 58), you have a bal-
ance due. Subtract Line 58 from Line 47 and enter the result on
Line 59. Payment may be made by:
Check or Money Order, payable to “State of New Jersey
– TGI.” Enter the amount of your payment in the boxes
below the signature line on the front of the return.

Customer Service Center at 609‑292‑6400 or by visiting a

2015 Form NJ-1040X
4
Items to Check Before Mailing Your Return
Use the 2015 Form NJ‑1040X to amend a 2015 Form NJ‑1040 resident income tax return only.
Check for correct name, address, and social security number(s). Your amended return (Form NJ‑1040X) cannot be pro-
cessed without a social security number.
Fill out both columns (“As Originally Reported” and “Amended”) completely.
Enclose required supporting documents when amending income items, deductions, or credits.
Enclose a copy of your W‑2s and/or 1099s (see page 1).
If original return was led electronically, enclose all supporting schedules or forms that would have been enclosed with an
original paper return – including supporting documents for items not being amended.
If there is a balance due on your amended return (Form NJ‑1040X), and you are ling the amended return after the original
due date of your resident return (Form NJ‑1040), your payment should include the amount of tax due plus penalties and
interest to avoid additional charges.
If you are paying by check or money order, enter the amount of your payment in the boxes below the signature line on the
front of the return. Write your social security number on the check or money order. If you are ling a joint return, include
both social security numbers. (You may also pay by e-check or credit card.)
Sign and date your return. Both spouses/civil union partners must sign a joint return. Your amended return cannot be pro-
cessed without the proper signatures.
Keep a copy of your amended return and all supporting documents, forms, and schedules.
