FAQ — TAX PREPARATION IN NEW JERSEY

As a small business owner in Newark, what are the key New Jersey-specific local business taxes I need to be aware of for 2026?
Beyond state income and sales taxes, Newark businesses primarily need to consider the New Jersey Corporation Business Tax (CBT) if structured as a corporation, which applies a graduated rate. While Newark itself doesn’t impose a separate city income tax, certain industries or property types within the city may be subject to specific local assessments or fees. Consulting with a local tax professional is crucial to identify all applicable municipal and county-level obligations.
Can I still deduct property taxes paid on my primary residence in Princeton, New Jersey, on my 2026 federal tax return, and what are the current state income tax brackets for New Jersey residents?
For your 2026 federal tax return, the deduction for state and local taxes (SALT), including property taxes, remains capped at $10,000 per household. New Jersey’s 2026 state income tax brackets are progressive, ranging from 1.4% for the lowest earners to 10.75% for income exceeding $5 million, with several intermediate tiers in between. It’s important to note that these brackets are subject to legislative changes, though the progressive structure is a constant.
