This includes quarterly estimated payments due Sept. 15, 2017, and Jan. 16, 2018. For individual tax filers, it also includes 2016 Income Tax returns that received a tax-filing extension until Oct. 16, 2017. However, because tax payments related to these 2016 returns were originally due on April 18, 2017, these payments will be considered late and are subject to penalties and interest.

For business tax filers, the new deadline applies to quarterly Employer Withholding (Payroll) Tax returns due Oct. 30, 2017, and quarterly Petroleum Products Gross Receipt Tax returns due Oct. 25, 2017. Businesses with tax-filing extensions until Sept. 15, 2017, also will have additional time. This includes calendar-year partnerships that received extensions until September.

New Jersey is following federal Internal Revenue Service guidelines on deadline extensions. If the IRS changes its deadline, New Jersey expects to revise its requirements as well.
