UNDERSTANDING TAX PREPARATION IN NEW JERSEY
Unlike many states, New Jersey taxpayers must solve three layers of complexity:
NJ State Income Tax Rules
New Jersey’s state tax system includes:

- Unique treatment for some capital gains

Accurate NJ filing requires clean federal integration + resident/nonresident coordination.
