For privilege periods beginning on or after December 22, 2022, a federal S corporation (or QSSS) can file as a New Jersey S corporation (or QSSS) even if they did not previously make the New Jersey election. They must submit the Shareholder Jurisdictional Consent and proof of their federal S corporation status.
See instructions for Schedule SJC for more information.

# Personal Liability of Officers and Directors

Any officer or director of any corporation who shall distribute or cause to be distributed any assets in dissolution or liquidation to the stockholders without having first paid all corporation franchise taxes, fees, penalties and interest imposed on said corporation, in accordance with N.J.S.A. 14A:6-12, N.J.S.A. 54:50-18 and other applicable provisions of law, shall be personally liable for said unpaid taxes, fees, penalties, and interest. Compliance with N.J.S.A. 54:50-13 is also required in the case of certain mergers, consolidations, and dissolutions.

# Distortion of Net Income

The Director is authorized to adjust and redetermine items of gross receipts and expenses as may be necessary to make a fair and reasonable determination of tax payable under the Corporation Business Tax Act. For details regarding the conditions under which this authority may be exercised, see regulation N.J.A.C. 18:7-5.10.

# Accounting Method

The return must be completed using the same method of accounting, cash, accrual or other basis, that was employed in the taxpayer's federal income tax return.

# Riders

If space is insufficient, include riders in the same form as the original printed sheets. The riders must be numbered and clearly list the schedule(s) and line(s) of each corresponding rider item.

# Federal/State Tax Agreement

The New Jersey Division of Taxation and the Internal Revenue Service participate in a federal/State program for the mutual exchange of tax information to verify the accuracy and consistency of information reported on federal and New Jersey tax returns.

# Corporations Required to File

A corporation that has elected and qualifies to be an S corporation pursuant to Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code is required to file Form CBT-100S unless the shareholders elect to be treated as a C corporation for New Jersey purposes. See Hybrid Corporations.
In general, an S corporation that files Form CBT-100S pays only the statutory minimum tax. However, if it has income that is taxed for federal purposes, the S corporation will owe the greater of the tax based on taxable income or the statutory minimum tax.
See Page 1 Line-by-Line instructions for more information.
Nexus. Corporations will be deemed to have bright-line economic nexus if during the corporation's tax year:

  • The receipts derived from New Jersey sources are more than $100,000, or
  • 200 or more separate transactions are delivered to customers in New Jersey.

Corporations that do not meet either threshold above, and do not create nexus in another way, do not have nexus even if they have New Jersey receipts. Information on nexus is available in TB-108, Nexus for Corporation Business Tax for Privilege Periods Ending on and after July 31, 2023.
Corporations Claiming P.L. 86-272. Foreign corporations that meet the filing requirements and whose income is immune from tax pursuant to Public Law 86-272, must obtain and complete Schedule N, Nexus - Immune Activity Declaration, and all applicable schedules from the CBT-100S. In addition, taxpayers must include a copy of the Nexus Questionnaire and remit the minimum tax with the CBT-100S.
Note: Check the box on page 1 to indicate the corporation is claiming P.L. 86-272.
Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiaries. A Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary (QSSS) is included on the tax return of its parent.
The parent reports all assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of the QSSS on a consolidated basis on its CBT-100S or CBT-100U return. See also, Hybrid Corporations.
For privilege periods ending on and after July 31, 2024, the parent lists the QSSS on Schedule Q. The minimum tax payments and the per capita licensed professional fees of its QSSS(es) included in the return must be remitted with the parent's tax payments. See the instructions for Schedule Q for more information.
For privilege periods ending before July 31, 2024, a QSSS was required to file Form CBT-100S annually, reflecting zero income, and remit the minimum tax. The parent reported all assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of the QSSS on a consolidated basis on its CBT-100S, CBT-100, or CBT-100U return.
Hybrid Corporations. A federal S corporation that elects to file as a C corporation for New Jersey purposes is a hybrid corporation. Any QSSS owned by an S corporation that elects to file as a C corporation will also be a hybrid corporation. For information on filing requirements, see TB-105, Corporation Business Tax and Gross Income Tax Guidance regarding S Corporations and
Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiaries.
Foreign Corporations That Own New Jersey Partnerships. A foreign corporation that owns a New Jersey partnership must file Form CBT-100S to claim the tax paid on their behalf by the partnership. The foreign corporation cannot transfer the tax paid by the partnership on its behalf to any of its shareholders.
Out-of-Business Corporations. Corporations that are "out of business" but have not dissolved or withdrawn their authority to do business in New Jersey, are still obligated to file a return. A dissolution or withdrawal date must be established on or before the last day of the current taxable period in order to avoid having to file a return for the next tax year.
New Corporations. Every New Jersey corporation acquires a taxable status beginning 1) on the date of its incorporation, or

  1. on the first day of the month following its incorporation if so stated in its certificate of incorporation. Every corporation that incorporates, qualifies, or otherwise acquires a taxable status in New Jersey must file a Corporation Business Tax return. This includes both in-state and out-of-state corporations. A tax return must be filed for each fiscal period, or part thereof, beginning on the date the corporation acquired a taxable status in New Jersey regardless of whether it had any assets or conducted any business activities. No return can cover a period exceeding 12 months, even by a day.

Financial Business Corporations. Corporations that qualify as financial businesses, those that derive 75% of their gross income from the financial activities enumerated at N.J.A.C. 18:7-1.16(a)1 through (a)7, must file the New Jersey Corporation Business Tax Return, Form CBT-100 or the Corporation Business Tax Unitary Return, Form CBT-100U.
Professional Corporations. Corporations formed under N.J.S.A. 14A:17-1 et seq. or any similar laws of a possession or territory of the U.S., a state, or political subdivision thereof, must complete Schedule PC. Examples of licensed professionals include certified public accountants, architects, optometrists, professional engineers, land surveyors, land planners, chiropractors, physical therapists, registered professional nurses, dentists, osteopaths, physicians and surgeons, doctors of medicine, doctors of dentistry, podiatrists, veterinarians, and attorneys.
Inactive Corporations. Inactive corporations that, during the period covered by the return, did not conduct any business, did not have any income, receipts or expenses, did not own any assets, did not make any distributions, and did not have any change in ownership, must complete the Certificate of Inactivity section on page 1. Payment for the related minimum tax liability and the installment payment (if applicable) must be submitted electronically. See the Page 1 section for more information.
Casino Licensees. See Technical Bulletin, TB-117, Casino Licensees' Corporation Business Tax Obligations for reporting instructions.

# Combined Reporting

New Jersey enacted mandatory combined reporting for unitary businesses for tax years ending on and after July 31, 2019.
Groups of companies that have common ownership and are engaged in a unitary business, where at least one member of the group is subject to the New Jersey Corporation Business Tax, are required to calculate their tax liability on a combined basis on Form CBT-100U, Corporation Business Tax Unitary Return.
If an S corporation elects C corporation tax status, the S corporation (and its QSSS(es), if applicable) is subject to the statutes and rules governing combined reporting.
A member of a combined group filing a New Jersey combined return does not have to file a separate return for the privilege period or portion of the privilege period thereof that the taxpayer was included as a member of the combined return. A combined group member with business operations that are independent of the unitary business activity of the combined group must report such income on Schedule X. Schedule X is submitted with the combined return. The member will not complete a separate return.
Visit the Division's website for information about combined reporting.
Note: A taxpayer that has nexus with New Jersey that is part of a combined group or affiliated group, but excluded from the New Jersey combined return must file a separate return.
Former Member of Combined Group. A taxpayer that was a member of a combined group filing a New Jersey combined return for part of the group privilege period and subsequently departs the combined group to file on a separate entity basis, must report the income for months subsequent to departing the combined group on a separate return (Form CBT-100S) unless the taxpayer joined a second combined group that files a New Jersey combined return. The taxpayer filing a separate return would not report the income on Form CBT-100S for the months during which the member was part of the combined group. If determining what amount of income is attributable to the portions of the twelve-month period are for the periods before and after departing a combined group, the taxpayer must prorate their income/losses and receipts.

# 2025 Accounting Periods and Due Dates

The 2025 S Corporation Business Tax return should only be used for accounting periods ending on and after July 31, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
New Jersey Corporation Business Tax returns and payments, except estimated payments, are due the 15th day of the month following the month the federal corporate income tax return is originally due. If the due date falls on a weekend or a legal holiday, the return and payment are due on the following business day. Use the following schedule for 2025 CBT-100S forms and payments:

Table from the official PDF (page 2)
Text version of this table

Due date for filing is:Nov. 15, 2025Dec. 15, 2025Jan. 15, 2026Feb. 15, 2026Mar. 15, 2026Apr 15, 2026
If accounting period ends on:Jan. 31, 2026Feb. 28, 2026Mar. 31, 2026Apr. 30, 2026May 31, 2026June 30, 2026
Due date for filing is:May 15, 2026June 15, 2026July. 15, 2026Aug. 15, 2026Sept. 15, 2026Oct. 15, 2026

Calendar or fiscal accounting year is the same accounting period upon which the taxpayer is required to report to the United States Treasury Department for federal income tax purposes.
Please note the ending month of the accounting period for federal returns and New Jersey returns must match, however, the tax return year for the federal and State returns may differ.
(i.e., a tax year ending 8/31/25 may be filed on a 2024 federal

1120-S; the same tax year must be filed on a 2025 New Jersey CBT-100S.) All accounting periods must end on the last day of the month, even if the taxpayer uses the same 52-53 week accounting year that is used for federal income tax purposes. See N.J.A.C. 18:7-2.3. The Division is aware that taxpayers cannot properly input dates for 52-53 week accounting years. In this case, taxpayers must enter the last day of the month. Attach a rider showing the correct accounting period. Returns for prior tax years are available on the Division's website.

# Extension of Time to File

The Tentative Return and Application for Extension of Time to File, Form CBT-200-T, must be filed and paid electronically.
You can also check with your software provider to see if the software you use supports filing of extensions. If an extension is requested, the corporation should notify all shareholders of such request.
Corporations will receive a six-month extension only if they have paid at least 90% of the tax liability and timely filed Form An extension of time is granted only to file your New Jersey Corporation Business Tax return. There is no extension of time to pay the tax due. The Division will notify you only if we deny your extension request, but not until after you actually file your return.
Penalties and interest are imposed whenever tax is paid after the original due date.
Note: An extension payment must include any applicable professional corporation (PC) fees and/or installment payments. See the online application for more information.
QSSSes do not need to file a request for an extension of time to file. An S corporation that owns a QSSS(es) files the extension request and pays the tax due for both the parent S corporation and the QSSS(es). If any payments were made by the QSSS(es), those payments must be moved to the parent S corporation. See the Division's website for more information.

# Payment of Tax

The balance of tax due must be paid in full by the original due date of the return.
In addition, corporations are required to make installment payments of estimated tax. The requirement for making these payments is based on the amount of the total tax liability shown on the most recent return.

# How to Pay

To make payments electronically, go to the Division of Taxation's website. Taxpayers that do not have access to the internet may call the Division's Customer Service Center at (609) 292-6400.
Taxpayers with a prior year liability of $10,000 or more in any tax are required to make their payments for all taxes by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). For information or to enroll in the program, visit the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services' website, call (609) 292-9292, fax (609) 984-6681, or write to NJ Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, EFT Section, PO Box 191, Trenton, NJ 08646-0191.
Note: Taxpayers who are required to remit payments by EFT can satisfy the EFT requirement by making e-check or credit card payments.

# Penalties and Interest

Insufficiency Penalty. If the amount paid with the Tentative Return, Form CBT-200-T, is less than 90% of the tax liability computed on Form CBT-100S, or in the case of a taxpayer whose preceding return covered a full 12-month period, is less than the amount of the tax computed at the rates applicable to the current accounting year but on the basis of the facts shown and the law applicable to the preceding accounting year, the taxpayer may be liable for a penalty of 5% per month or part of a month not to exceed 25% of the amount of underpayment from the original due date to the date of actual payment.
Late Filing Penalty. 5% per month or part of a month on the amount of underpayment not to exceed 25% of that underpayment, except if no return has been filed within 30 days of the date on which the first notice of delinquency in filing the return was sent, the penalty will accrue at 5% per month or part of a month of the total tax liability not to exceed 25% of such tax liability. Also, a penalty of $100 for each month the return is delinquent may be imposed.
Late Payment Penalty. 5% of the balance of tax due paid after the due date for filing the return may be imposed.
Interest. The annual interest rate is 3% above the average predominant prime rate on outstanding balances for every month or part of a month the tax is unpaid, compounded annually. At the end of each calendar year, any tax, penalties, and interest remaining due will become part of the balance on which interest will be charged. The interest rates assessed by the Division of Taxation are published online.
Note: The average predominant prime rate is the rate as determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, quoted by commercial banks to large businesses on December 1st of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which payment was due or as redetermined by the Director in accordance with N.J.S.A.
54:48-2.
Collection Fees. In addition, if the tax bill is sent to our collection agency, a referral cost recovery fee of 11% of any tax, penalties, and interest due will be added to the liability in accordance with N.J.S.A. 54:49-12.3. If a certificate of debt is issued for the outstanding liability, a fee for the cost of collection of the tax may also be imposed.
Underpayment of Estimated Tax. To calculate the amount of interest for the underpayment of estimated tax, complete either Form CBT-160-A or Form CBT-160-B. If the taxpayer qualifies for any of the exceptions to the imposition of interest for any of the installment payments, Part II must be completed and submitted with the return as evidence of such exception.
Civil Fraud. If any part of an assessment is due to civil fraud, there shall be added to the tax an amount equal to 50% of the assessment in accordance with N.J.S.A. 54:49-9.1.
Transacting Business Without a Certificate of Authority. In addition to any other liabilities imposed by law, a foreign corporation that transacts business in this State without a certificate of authority shall forfeit to the State a penalty of not less than $200, nor more than $1,000 for each calendar year, not more than 5 years prior thereto, in which it shall have transacted business in this State without a certificate of authority.

Line 1 - Taxable Net Income Subject to Federal Corporate

Income Taxation
Enter amount from Schedule A, Part II, line 5. If zero or less, enter zero.

# Line 2a - Amount of Tax

Multiply line 1 by the applicable tax rate:

  • If the total of Schedule A, Part II, line 5 plus Schedule O, Part III, line 31 (if applicable) is greater than $100,000, the tax rate is 9% (.09).
  • If the total of Schedule A, Part II, line 5 plus Schedule O, Part III, line 31 (if applicable) is greater than $50,000 and less than or equal to $100,000, the tax rate is 7.5% (.075).

  • If the total of Schedule A, Part II, line 5 plus Schedule O, Part III, line 31 (if applicable) is $50,000 or less, the tax rate is 6.5% (.065). Tax periods of less than 12 months qualify for the 6.5% rate if the prorated total of Schedule A, Part II, line 5 plus Schedule O, Part III, line 31 does not exceed $4,166 per month.

For taxpayers with total entire net income that is not subject to federal income taxation or such portion that is allocable to New Jersey, there is no tax imposed. However, minimum tax requirements apply.

Line 2b - Total Minimum Tax
Enter the total minimum tax. All taxpayers must complete Schedule J.
The minimum tax is assessed based on the New Jersey gross receipts from Schedule J, line 6 as follows:

If a taxpayer is a member of an affiliated or controlled group (as per I.R.C. § 1504 or § 1563) that has a total payroll of $5,000,000 or more for the tax year, the minimum tax is $2,000 regardless of the amount of the taxpayer's New Jersey gross receipts. Tax years of less than 12 months are subject to the higher minimum tax if the prorated total payroll exceeds $416,667 per month. Total payroll refers to the total payroll of the affiliated group rather than total New Jersey payroll of a single corporation. Taxpayers that are members of an affiliated or controlled group must submit a schedule of payroll per member and a copy of the taxpayer's federal affiliations schedule, Form 851, with the return.
An S corporation that owns a QSSS(es) must enter the minimum tax from Schedule Q, Part I, line 1.

Information on making these payments can be found on the Division's website.
  • If the 2025 total tax liability is NOT greater than the amount on line 5a, installment payments may be made as indicated above OR in lieu of making installment payments, the taxpayer may make a payment of 50% of the 2025 total tax liability. For taxpayers who qualify and want to take advantage of this option, enter on line 5b, 50% of the amount on line 4. This will become part of the payment to be made with the 2025 return and installment payments will not be required.

This payment should be claimed as a credit when filing the 2026 return.

Receipts from the sale of goods shipped to a taxpayer from outside New Jersey to a New Jersey customer by a common carrier are allocable to New Jersey. Receipts from the sale of goods shipped from outside New Jersey to a New Jersey location where the goods are picked up by a common carrier and transported to a customer outside New Jersey are not allocable to New Jersey. Receipts from the following are allocable to New Jersey: services performed if the benefit of the service is received in New Jersey; rentals from property situated in New Jersey; royalties from the use in New Jersey of patents, copyrights, and trademarks; all other business receipts earned in New Jersey.
Services are sourced based on market sourcing.
Receipts from Sales of Capital Assets. Receipts from sales of capital assets (property not held by the taxpayer for sale to customers in the regular course of business), either within or outside New Jersey, should be included in the numerator and the denominator based on the net gain recognized and not on gross selling prices. If the taxpayer's business is the buying and selling of real estate or the buying and selling of securities for trading purposes, gross receipts from the sale of such assets should be included in the numerator and the denominator of the receipts fraction.
Note: The amount of dividends (deemed and/or paid dividends) excluded from entire net income pursuant to N.J.S.A.

# Per Capita Licensed Professional Fee

Professional corporations (PC) formed under N.J.S.A. 14A:17-1 et seq. or any similar laws of a possession or territory of the U.S., a state, or political subdivision thereof, are liable for a fee on licensed professionals.
Per N.J.S.A. 14A:17-3, examples of licensed professionals are: certified public accountants, architects, optometrists, professional engineers, land surveyors, land planners, chiropractors, physical therapists, registered professional nurses, dentists, osteopaths, physicians and surgeons, doctors of medicine, doctors of dentistry, podiatrists, veterinarians and, subject to the Rules of the Supreme Court, attorneys at law.
Note: Licenses acquired through vocational training and/or apprenticeships within those trades are not considered licensed professionals. Examples include plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, cosmetologists, fire and burglar alarm services, acupuncturists, hair stylists, elevator, escalator, and moving walkway mechanics, locksmiths, and court reporters.
The fee is assessed provided there are more than two professionals in the PC. The fee is assessed on professionals that are owners, shareholders, and/or employees of the professional corporation. The number of professionals should be calculated using a quarterly average. The fee for each resident and nonresident professional with physical nexus with New Jersey is $150. The fee for each nonresident professional without physical nexus with New Jersey is $150 multiplied by the allocation factor of the corporation. The fee is limited to $250,000 per year.
In the event of a period shorter than a year, the fee and limit may be prorated by months. A fraction of a month is deemed to be a month.
Check the box on page 1 to indicate the taxpayer or a QSSS the taxpayer owns is a professional corporation.
Part II, line 4 - Installment Payment: A 50% prepayment towards the subsequent year's fee is required with the current year's return.
Part II, line 8 - Credit: Amount to be credited towards next year's fee. This fee is not eligible for refund.

Itemize in column 7 the amount of tax payments made on behalf of the taxpayer by partnership entities. Carry the total amount of taxes paid on behalf of taxpayer to page 1, line 8b. Include a copy of Schedule NJK-1 from Form NJ-1065 if the partnership is filing in New Jersey, or the federal Schedule K-1 if not. Any one member limited liability company must be included on this schedule.
Part II - Separate Accounting of Nonunitary Partnership

Include only the entities that have more than 2 licensed professionals.
After completing lines 1-3, enter the total fee due on Schedule PC, Part II, line 3 and continue completing Schedule PC.

# Dividend Exclusion

  • The dividend exclusion is a pre-allocation exclusion.
  • The historic ordering limitation (preventing the dividend exclusion from increasing net operating losses) is no longer applicable. However, the change in historic ordering is prospective only. Taxpayers cannot adjust NOLs and PNOLs from privilege periods ending before July 31, 2023, using the law change from P.L. 2023, c.96.
  • GILTI is treated as a dividend for New Jersey purposes and is reported on Schedule A, Part I, line 23b.
  • The maximum dividend exclusion is 100% from qualified subsidiaries if such dividends were included in the taxpayer's gross income on Schedule A. However, there is a clawback provision that requires a 5% reduction of the exclusion amount (see N.J.S.A. 54:10A-4(k)(5)(F)(ii)).
  • Federal PTEP representative of dividends and deemed dividends that were previously taxed and reported for New Jersey purposes are eligible for the Previously Taxed Exclusion and the taxpayer must complete Schedule PT to report and deduct such PTEP amounts.
  • Federal PTEP representative of dividends and deemed dividends that were not previously taxed for New Jersey purposes because they were not reported on the taxpayer's CBT return are included as part of the dividends and deemed dividends eligible for the dividend exclusion on Schedule R, and not the New Jersey previously taxed dividend exclusion.

Taxpayers cannot include the following as part of the dividend exclusion:

  • Money market fund or REIT income;
  • FDII (Foreign-Derived Deduction Eligible Income (FDDEI) for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025). This is not considered income from dividends or deemed dividends for New Jersey Corporation Business Tax purposes; or
  • The portion of I.R.C. § 78 gross-up deducted on line 38a of Schedule A, Part I.

Dividends and deemed dividends from all sources must be included in Schedule A. However, taxpayers may exclude from entire net income 100% of dividends from qualified subsidiaries, less the 5% clawback, if such dividends were included in the taxpayer's gross income on Schedule A. A qualified subsidiary is defined as ownership by the taxpayer of at least 80% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote and at least 80% of the total number of shares of all other classes of stock, except non-voting stock which is limited and preferred as to dividends.
With respect to other dividends, the exclusion is limited to 50% of such dividends included in the taxpayer's gross income on Schedule A, less the 5% clawback, provided the taxpayer owns at least 50% of voting stock and 50% of the total number of shares of all other classes of stock.
Any subsidiary that is owned less than 50% is not entitled to a dividend exclusion.
If the taxpayer received tiered dividends from a tiered subsidiary that filed and paid tax in excess of the minimum tax to New Jersey on those same dividends, do not include these dividends on Schedule R.
The tiered dividend exclusion from certain subsidiaries is calculated separately on Form 332. See Form 332 for more information. The form is available on the Division's website.

New Jersey follows the federal ownership attribution rule changes under I.R.C. § 958(b) and I.R.C. § 318 that broadened the federal attribution rules that were retroactive to January 1, 2017, in addition to the already broad Corporation Business Tax attribution rules.
Schedule PT - Previously Taxed Dividends: If you had subsidiary dividend income that was reported in a previous tax year for New Jersey Corporation Business Tax purposes and for which you paid greater than the New Jersey minimum tax in that tax year and those same dividends are included in your entire net income this tax year, complete Schedule PT in conjunction with Schedule R. See Schedule PT for more information. The schedule is available on the Division's website.

# Schedule S

All taxpayers must complete this schedule and must include a copy of a completed federal Depreciation Schedule, Form 4562.
Schedule S provides for adjustments to depreciation and certain safe harbor leasing transactions. Gas, electric and gas, and electric utilities must also complete Schedule S, Part II, for property placed in service prior to January 1, 1998.
Part I - Depreciation and Safe Harbor Leasing
New Jersey has decoupled from I.R.C. §168(k) bonus depreciation and I.R.C. § 179 expensing provisions. See N.J.S.A. 54:10A-4(k)(12) and N.J.S.A.
54:10A-4(k)(13). Adjustments must be made accordingly.
Line 1 through Line 6 - These lines detail the depreciation deduction reflected in the Computation of Entire Net Income (Schedule A, Part I) into several categories. In most circumstances, the information can be found on federal Form 4562.
Line 7 - Enter the amount reported on the federal Form 4562.
Line 8 - Enter the amount of current depreciation on property placed in service in prior years carried over into the current period.

Line 13 - Enter any adjustment to depreciation that is an addition. This can include, but is not limited to, partnership activity.
Line 14 - P.L. 2024, c.1, provides for an alternate depreciation deduction for certain affordable housing developments placed in service during privilege periods beginning on and after January 1, 2025.
Housing developments are eligible if construction on the development begins on or after March 20, 2024; at least 20% of the units qualify as affordable housing; property taxes are not abated or exempted under the Long Term Tax Exemption Law, and the taxpayer does not receive an affordable housing subsidy for construction of the development.
Capital expenditures incurred by the taxpayer in connection with the construction of a new affordable housing development owned by the taxpayer qualify for the alternate calculation. The percentage of expenditures that can be deducted is calculated by dividing the affordable housing units in the development by the total housing units in the development and multiplying the result by 2.
Line 15 - Enter any adjustment to depreciation that is a deduction. This can include, but is not limited to, partnership activity.
Part II - New Jersey Depreciation for Gas,

# Electric, and Gas and Electric Public Utilities

Gas, electric, and gas and electric utilities must complete this schedule to compute their New Jersey depreciation allowable for the single asset account, which is comprised of all depreciable property placed in service prior to January 1, 1998. The basis of this asset account will be the total federal depreciable basis as of December 31, 1997, plus the excess of the book depreciable basis over the federal tax basis as of December 31, 1997. This basis will be reduced yearly by the federal basis of these assets sold, retired, or disposed of from January 1, 1998, to date.
Note: Gas, electric and gas, and electric utilities may have adjustments from both Part I and Part II. If the taxpayer has amounts reported on Schedule S, Part II, lines 1 through 5, enter the amount from Schedule S, Part I, line 16 on Schedule S, Part II, line 6b, not Schedule A, Part I, line 36a or 36b.

# Worksheet I

# Worksheet II

Column D - Enter the federal depreciation claimed up to the date the property was sold.
Column E - Enter the New Jersey depreciation claimed up to the date the property was sold.

# Operating Losses

For New Jersey Corporation Business Tax purposes, net operating losses and net operating loss carryovers have a 20-year carryover period and can only be carried forward.
For tax years beginning on and after January 1, 2020, the federal rules and regulations governing consolidated return net operating losses and net operating loss carryovers apply to the New Jersey net operating loss carryover provisions to the extent they are consistent with the provisions of the New Jersey Corporation Business Tax Act. If the New Jersey and federal provisions differ, the New Jersey Corporation Business Tax Act provisions govern. New Jersey generally follows the federal rules governing mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, spin-offs, split-offs, dissolution, bankruptcy, or any form of cessation of a business. New Jersey also follows any other provision of the federal rules that limits or reduces federal net operating losses and federal net operating loss carryovers.
Note: NOLs purchased through the EDA's Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program may be claimed on Form 500S in the same manner as NOLs earned by the taxpayer. Attach a copy of the transfer certificate to Form
500S. Taxpayers do not need to reallocate the NOLs.

Line 2 - Enter the amount reported on Schedule A, Part II, line 4.
Line 3 - Add line 1 and line 2. This is the total amount of NOL used in the current year.

It cannot exceed the total of the amounts reported on Schedule A, Part I, line 41 and Schedule A, Part II, line 3.
Any taxpayer claiming an NOL deduction must submit the last Net Operating Loss Schedule/Worksheet prior to conversion to S Corporation (from CBT-100 or CBT-100U).
