05 February 2020 New Jersey 2019 Forms W-2 and NJ-W-3 due February 15, 2020; new electronic filing requirements for 2020 The New Jersey Department of Treasury and Division of Taxation announced that calendar year 2019 Forms W-2 and state Form NJ-W-3 must be filed by February 15, 2020, whether the employer voluntarily files electronically or files on paper (note that this is an acceleration from the previous administrative deadline of February 28.) Statutorily, the deadline has always been February 15, but in the past the deadline was administratively extended to February 28, even after the IRS changed its deadline to January 31. The Division also announced that effective for calendar year 2020, due February 15, 2021, all employers must file Forms W-2 and state Form NJ-W-3 electronically. New Jersey employers have been required since 2009 to file other withholding and payroll tax returns electronically.
