IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING EXCESS FLI CONTRIBUTIONS FOR 2009

On January 11, 2010, Senate bill number 3065 passed both houses of the legislature and was signed into law on January 14, 2010. This bill provides for annual adjustments in family temporary disability contribution rates commencing in calendar year 2011 and provides the worker, who was employed by two or more employers subject to the New Jersey Unemployment Compensation and Temporary Disability laws, the right to claim a credit for excess Family Leave Insurance (FLI) worker contributions. Unfortunately, the passage of this bill was beyond the deadline to include worker contributions for Family Leave Insurance (FLI) on form NJ-2450, "Employee s Claim for Credit", for 2009. While a worker, who is employed by two or more employers during calendar year 2009, may file a NJ-2450 for excess worker contributions for unemployment (UI), disability (DI) and workforce (WF), the worker will not be able to include excess worker contributions for FLI. To claim a credit for excess worker contributions for FLI, the worker must file a UC-9A, Employee Claim for Refund of Excess Contributions, 2009, with the New Jersey Department of Labor.

Correction to 2009 NJ-1040NR Nonresident Return Instructions

The printed instruction booklet for the 2009 NJ-1040NR nonresident return contains an error on page 7. Under Line 30 - Total Exemption Amount, one of the factors in the equation illustrating how a part-year nonresident calculates the exemption amount incorrectly reads "Mos. NJ Resident." It should be "Mos. NJ Nonresident." The corrected equation appears on our Web site at http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/nr1040correction.shtml This error does not appear in the online version of the 2009 NJ-1040NR instructions http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/other_forms/tgi-ee/2009/091040nri.pdf

FOR THOSE PREPARERS WHO DEAL WITH DELAWARE TAX RETURNS... 2009 Tax Amnesty Program

The Delaware Division of Revenue is pleased to announce a State of Delaware Tax Amnesty Program this fall. From September 1st to October 30th, 2009, any individual or business taxpayer who pays their current outstanding State of Delaware tax liability administered by the Division of Revenue will have their interest and penalty fees waived, if registered for the amnesty program. Individuals or businesses with balances from tax periods before January 1, 2009, must pay their liabilities in full or enter into a payment plan. Full payment must be received before June 30, 2010, in order to have all penalty and interest fees waived. Non-filers who file all past-due returns can enter into the same plan as taxpayers with existing liabilities, except the state will waive their tax, penalty and interest fees for all periods filed prior to January 1, 2004. This notice is being sent to make you aware of the program. For more information, you can also visit: www.revenue.delaware.gov
