Partnership Return Instructions
The New Jersey Gross Income Tax Act does not follow all federal income tax provisions for partnerships. For New Jersey Gross Income Tax purposes, all items of income, expense, gain, or loss resulting from the activities of the partnership, regardless of the item's character or category, must be included in the amount reported on the NJ-1065 as "Partnership Income" and then apportioned to each partner on Schedule NJK-1.
Each partner will report its portion of the total partnership income as "distributive share of partnership income" on its individual tax return. Nonresident partners that have income or loss from New Jersey sources are also required to file a tax return to report their share of partnership income. Nonresident partners will have to attach a copy of their Schedule NJK-1 to claim credit for the tax paid on their behalf.
The partnership income information required to be reported on this form is needed to: (1) adjust certain items of federal income to conform to the New Jersey Gross Income Tax Act, and (2) separate income derived from New Jersey sources from amounts derived from all sources. These adjustments and allocations provide the basis for the reporting of partnership income by both New Jersey resident partners and nonresident partners.
The amounts reported by the partnership on federal Schedule K may require adjustments to ensure that all income, expense, gain, or loss is ultimately reported by the partners as distributive share of partnership income on the New Jersey Income Tax return. For example, interest, dividends, rents, gains, or losses earned are to be combined with federal ordinary income (loss) to arrive at New Jersey partnership income (loss).
If the partnership has receipts outside New Jersey, all income, gain, or loss other than nonoperational income and nonunitary partnership income must be allocated using market-based sourcing, not cost of performance, and calculated using a single sales factor. Use the allocation factor as determined by the Business Allocation Schedule (Form NJ-NR-A) unless permission has been granted to use a substitute method of allocation. See Technical Bulletin TB-112(R), Gross Income Tax Allocation Sourcing for the Receipts of Business Income, for more information.
If the partnership has a nonresident noncorporate or a nonresident corporate partner, it must pay the applicable nonresident partner tax. The nonresident partner tax is not required if the partnership is a qualified investment partnership, an investment club, is listed on a United States national stock exchange, or meets hedge fund status and its only nonresident partners are individuals, estates, or trusts.
Partnerships that are subject to tax payments must make installment payments of 25% of that tax on or before the 15th day of each of the fourth, sixth, and ninth months of the privilege period and on or before the 15th day of the first month after the close of the privilege period.
Most entities classified as partnerships for federal income tax purposes that have income or loss derived from New Jersey sources and that have more than two owners must make a payment of a filing fee of $150 for each owner up to a maximum of $250,000. The filing fee is due on or before the 15th day of the fourth month after the close of each privilege period. An installment payment equal to 50% of the current year's filing fee is also required at the same time.
A partnership with New Jersey qualified research expenditures cannot claim the New Jersey Research and Development Tax Credit for Corporation Business Tax on the partnership return. However, corporate partners are entitled to their share of the credit. See Form 306 for more information.
All choices affecting the calculation of income from a partnership are made by the partnership, not each partner. This includes the choice of recognized methods of accounting, methods of calculating depreciation, capitalization of organizational fees, and the use of the installment sale provisions. It also includes the classification of income and the allocation of income to New Jersey.
All partnership elections are equally applicable to all partners.

# GIT and CBT Partnership Returns

The Division has two partnership tax returns: Forms NJ-1065 and NJ-CBT-1065. The Gross Income Tax Act (GIT) at N.J.S.A. 54A:8-6 requires entities classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes having a resident owner or income derived from New Jersey sources to file a Gross Income Tax return, Form NJ-1065. Partnerships with more than two owners and income or loss from New Jersey sources may also be subject to a filing fee. The fee is calculated and reported on the NJ-1065.
The Corporation Business Tax Act (CBT) at N.J.S.A.
54:10A-15.11 imposes a tax on certain partnerships that have nonresident owners. Partnerships subject to the CBT must file the NJ-CBT-1065. The separate forms help distinguish the differences that exist between the Gross Income Tax and Corporation Business Tax Acts.
The filing fee is reported directly on the NJ-1065. The GIT filing fee is remitted with the Partnership Payment Voucher (NJ-1065-V). If the entity is also required to calculate and report Corporation Business Tax, the entity must complete and file the NJ-CBT-1065. If the entity has a CBT balance due, it is remitted with the Corporation Business Tax-Partnership Payment Voucher (NJ-CBT-V).
Partnerships that are members of an entity electing to pay the Pass-Through Business Alternative Income Tax can choose where to apply the credit for their share of the tax.

  • Partnership filing fee on the NJ-1065
  • Nonresident partners tax on the NJ-CBT-1065
  • Allocated to the partners on the Partners Directory on Form NJ-1065 if all partners are individuals, estates, or trusts
  • Pass-Through Business Alternative Income Tax on the PTE-100 if they elect to pay the Pass-Through Business Alternative Income Tax

# Definitions

Partnership, for tax purposes, means and includes a syndicate, group, pool, joint venture, and any other unincorporated organization through or by means of which any business, financial operation, or venture is carried on and that is not a corporation, trust, or estate within the meaning of the New Jersey Gross Income Tax Act.
Only entities that qualify for and elect to be treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes (for example, limited liability companies and limited liability partnerships) are treated as partnerships under the New Jersey Gross Income Tax Act.
"Tiered" Partnerships are arrangements in which one partnership, the upper tier or "parent" partnership, is a member of, or holds an ownership interest in, another partnership (called the lower tier or "subsidiary" partnership). Tiered partnerships must complete Schedule A, NJ-1065 before completing Schedule O, if applicable.
Tiered partnerships that are unitary must use the flowthrough method of accounting for income and receipts.
Tiered partnerships that are nonunitary must use the separate method of accounting for income and receipts.
Partner means any owner of a partnership interest.
Nonresident Noncorporate Partner means an individual, an estate, or a trust subject to taxation pursuant to the "New Jersey Gross Income Tax Act" that is not a resident taxpayer or a resident estate or trust under that Act.
Nonresident Corporate Partner means a partner that is not an individual, an estate, or a trust subject to taxation pursuant to the New Jersey Gross Income Tax Act, that is not a corporation exempt from tax pursuant to N.J.S.A.
54:10A-3, and that does not maintain a regular place of business in this State other than a statutory office.
Qualified Investment Partnership means a partnership that has more than 10 members or partners with no member or partner owning more than a 50% interest in the entity and that derives at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities, loans, and gains from the sale or other disposition of stocks or securities or foreign currencies or commodities or other similar income (including but not limited to gains from swaps, options, futures, or forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing or trading in those stocks, securities, currencies, or commodities, but "investment partnership" does not include a "dealer in securities" within the meaning of section 1236 of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Hedge Fund Status is met for New Jersey tax purposes if the investment entity's only activity is the purchase, holding, or sale of intangible personal property, such as commodities or securities, and such intangible personal property is not held for sale to customers as defined at N.J.S.A. 54A:5-8c. A partnership that qualifies for hedge fund status in one year may not meet the requirements every year. The entity must evaluate its situation on a yearly basis. The entity, not the partner, must make the determination.
Investment Clubs are usually small groups of individuals who pool their money to invest in stock or other securities. The group usually operates informally with members pledging to pay a regular amount into the club monthly. Some clubs have a committee that gathers information on securities, selects the most promising securities, and recommends that the clubs invest in them.
Most clubs require all members to vote for or against all investments, sales, trades, and the other transactions.
Investment clubs recognize as their main source of income interest, dividends, and gains on disposition of their stock and securities and usually meet hedge fund status. Investment clubs generally are not considered a business. An investment club is required to file Form NJ-1065 but is not entitled to deduct any expenses (unless it rises to the level of being in business). The member or partner of the investment club will report their share of the investment club's income or loss as distributive share of partnership income.
If an investment club meets the following criteria, it will be exempt from the $150 per owner annual partnership filing fee and from the requirement that a partnership make payments on behalf of its nonresident owners. The investment club must be an entity that is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, all of the owners are individuals, and all of the assets are securities, cash, or cash equivalents. The market value of the total assets do not exceed, as measured on the last day of its privilege period, an amount equal to the lesser of $442,000 or $61,900 per owner of the entity. The investment club is not required to register itself or its membership interests with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission.

Casino Licensees should refer to the Technical Bulletin for the Casino Licensees' Corporation Business Tax Obligations for reporting instructions.

# Who Must File

Every partnership that has income or loss derived from sources in the State of New Jersey, or has any type of New Jersey resident partner, must file Form NJ-1065. A partnership must file even if its principal place of business is outside the State of New Jersey. The NJ-1065 is not solely an information return. A filing fee and tax may be imposed on the partnership. Partners subject to the Gross Income Tax must report and pay tax on their share of partnership income or loss.

# How to File

Electronic Filing Mandate
Partnerships subject to the provisions of the Corporation Business Tax Act (that is partnerships that remit tax based on any nonresident corporate and nonresident noncorporate partner's allocable share of NJ partnership income) that utilize the services of a paid preparer must file all their returns completed by that practitioner by electronic means. Payments of the partnership liabilities along with the submission of payment-related returns (PART-200-T and CBT-206) must also be made electronically either by the partnership or by a paid tax practitioner.
In addition, partnerships with 10 or more partners must file all returns electronically regardless of whether or not they utilize the services of a paid tax preparer. To obtain the electronic filing and payment formats or to obtain additional information on electronic filing and payment options, visit the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services' website at nj.gov/treasury/revenue/ partnerships.shtml or email the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services at e-GovServices@treas.nj.gov.
NJ-1065 filers that do not use the services of a paid tax preparer and who have less than 10 partners have the option to file by electronic means or on paper.

# What to File

The following forms and statements must be included with the NJ-1065:

  • Schedule NJK-1 for every partner;
  • Pages 1 through 5 of the federal Form 1065, federal Form 8825, federal Schedule D, and any federal extension request forms filed;
  • Form NJ-NR-A if either of the following conditions apply: (1) the partnership is doing business both inside and outside New Jersey, or (2) 100% of the partnership's business is carried on outside New Jersey;
  • Schedule A, Tiered Partnerships, if applicable;
  • Schedule O, Nonoperational Activity, if applicable;
  • Worksheet GIT-DEP, Gross Income Tax Depreciation Adjustment Worksheet, if applicable;
  • Schedule B, Sheltered Workshop Tax Credit, if applicable;
  • Schedule L, Complete Liquidation, if applicable;
  • All Schedule NJK-1s received if the partnership is a partner of another partnership;
  • All Schedule PTE-K-1s received if the partnership is a member of an entity that elected to pay the Pass-Through Business Alternative Income Tax.

Form NJ-CBT-1065 must be completed if the entity calculated a tax due on its nonresident partner(s).
The Division may require that the complete federal Form 1065, including all schedules and supporting attachments, and any other documentation or information deemed necessary be submitted during the course of an audit.
If at any time during the course of an audit the Division deems it necessary, the partnership must make the NJ-1065E available for all applicable partners.

# When to File

Returns for Calendar Year 2025 are due April 15, 2026.
Fiscal year returns are due the 15th day of the fourth month after the end of the tax year.
Any short period return must be filed by the due date of the federal Form 1065. The partnership should use the most current form available from the Division of Taxation.
Postmark Date. All New Jersey Income Tax returns postmarked on or before the due date of the return are considered to be filed on time. Returns postmarked after the due date are deemed to be late. The filing date for a late return is the day the return is received by the Division, not the postmark date.

# Where to File

If you are not required to file electronically (see Electronic Filing Mandate above) and choose to file on paper, use the addresses below.
Mail your completed NJ-1065 to:
NJ Division of Taxation - Revenue Processing Center PO Box 194 Trenton NJ 08646-0194 Mail your completed PART-200-T to:
NJ Division of Taxation - Revenue Processing Center Extension of Time to File NJ-1065 PO Box 642 Trenton NJ 08646

NJ Division of Taxation - Revenue Processing Center Filing Fee on Partnerships PO Box 642 Trenton NJ 08646 Note: Do not attach the NJ-1065-V to or mail with your NJ-1065.

# Extension of Time to File

If a five-month extension is obtained for filing federal Form 1065, then an automatic five-month extension is granted for submitting your NJ-1065. A copy of your application for federal extension, federal Form 7004, must be filed with your New Jersey return. Check the box labeled "Application for Federal Extension is Attached" on the front of your NJ-1065. If you did not obtain a federal extension and you need more time to file your New Jersey NJ-1065, federal Form 7004 must be submitted as your request to New Jersey on or before the original due date of the return.
In addition, any partnership that has a filing fee due must file PART-200-T, Partnership Application for Extension of Time to File NJ-1065. The applicable payment must accompany this form. PART-200-T must be postmarked on or before the original due date of the return. See specific instructions on the back of PART-200-T.
There is no extension of time to pay the fee due. Penalties and interest are imposed whenever the fee is paid after the original due date.
A five-month extension of time to file your NJ-1065 may be granted if at least 80% of the total fee reported on your NJ-1065 when filed is paid in the form of an installment payment or other payment made by the original due date.
An extension of time to file the NJ-1065 does not extend the time for filing the tax returns of the partners.

# Fees

Partnerships that are required to file an NJ-1065 may be subject to owing a filing fee. Filing fees are subject to the provisions of the Gross Income Tax Act. The Gross Income Tax Act has a three-year statute of limitations (time allowed by law) for the Division of Taxation to send a bill. The Division generally has three years from the date the entity filed its partnership return or the original due date of the return, whichever is later, to send the entity a bill for additional filing fees. There is no time limit if the entity did not file a partnership return, or if the entity filed a false or fraudulent return with the intent to evade tax.
The time limit may be extended in certain circumstances.

# Accounting Method

A partnership's accounting method(s) used for the NJ-1065 must be the same as the accounting methods(s) used for federal Form 1065.

# Accounting Periods

The 2025 NJ-1065 should be used for Calendar Year 2025, or for a fiscal year that began in 2025. If filing for a fiscal year or a short tax year, enter at the top of the NJ-1065 the month and day the tax year began, and the month, day, and year that it ended. The partnership's tax year for New Jersey Income Tax purposes must be the same as its tax year for federal income tax purposes.

# Passive Loss Limitations

do not apply for New Jersey
Gross Income Tax purposes. The full amount of current loss may be used to offset income or gain, regardless of federal passive loss limitations.

# Effect

The partnership in determining gain or loss for New Jersey purposes on the sale or disposition of partnership asset(s) must use the same basis in the asset(s) as used for federal tax purposes. The New Jersey Supreme Court's decision in Sidney & Dorothy Koch v. Director, Division of Taxation does not apply to the sale, disposition, or liquidation of assets by a partnership.
Gains or losses incurred by a partnership are passed through to the partners to be reflected on their respective New Jersey tax returns. Partners who are taxpayers subject to New Jersey Gross Income Tax will generally report this gain or loss as a component of their "Distributive share of partnership income" unless the partnership had a complete liquidation.
Resident taxpayers that sell or dispose of a partnership interest may be entitled to a Koch-type adjustment to their federal basis in the partnership when determining New Jersey gain or loss. The gain or loss on the sale or disposal of the partnership interest will then be reflected on the taxpayer's New Jersey return in the category of income "Net gains or income from disposition of property." The sale or disposition of a partnership interest is the only time a partner that is a taxpayer for Gross Income Tax purposes can make Koch-type basis adjustments.

# Amended Return or Federal Change

An amended NJ-1065 must be filed if an amended federal Form 1065 is filed, or if the Internal Revenue Service changes or corrects any item of income, gain, or loss previously reported. The amended New Jersey return must be filed within 30 days of the date the amended federal Form 1065 is filed or, in the case of a federal audit, within 90 days after the final determination of the change. When an amendment to the NJ-1065 results in a need to amend the Schedules NJK-1, an amended Schedule NJK-1 must be forwarded to the Division of Taxation and to each partner.
An amended NJ-1065 and an amended Schedule NJK-1 for each partner must also be filed to correct any error on or reflect any change to the original NJ-1065, whether or not an amended federal Form 1065 was filed for that year.
To amend your original NJ-1065, get a blank NJ-1065 for the tax year that is to be amended, and check the "Amended Return" box on the front of the form. Complete the form, entering the corrected information, and attach an explanation of the changes. Entities subject to the electronic filing mandate as explained on page 4 are required to file their amended return electronically. Entities that are not subject to the electronic filing mandate have the option of filing their amended partnership return electronically or mailing it to:
NJ Division of Taxation
Revenue Processing Center
PO Box 194
Trenton NJ 08646-0194

# Penalty and Interest Charges

A penalty of $100 for each month or part of a month will be imposed for a partnership that is required to file electronically but fails to do so. In addition, a late filing penalty of 5% per month (or part of a month) up to a maximum of 25% of the outstanding tax liability will also be imposed.
The Division may impose a penalty against the partnership if the partnership is required to file an NJ-1065 and
(1) fails to file the return on time, including any extension, (2) files a return that fails to show all the information required, or (3) fails to file an amended partnership return within 90 days of the date a final federal determination or disallowance is issued or within 90 days of the date the amended federal Form 1065 is filed, unless the failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect.
Late Filing Penalty. 5% per month (or part of a month) up to a maximum of 25% of the outstanding tax liability when a return is filed after the due date or extended due date will be imposed. A penalty of $100 for each month or part of a month the return is late may also be imposed.
Late Payment Penalty. 5% of the outstanding tax balance may be imposed.
Interest. 3% above the prime rate 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 (unpaid) will become part of the balance on which interest is charged. See Technical Bulletin TB-21(R) for current and previous years' interest rates.

# Fraudulent Returns

Any person who deliberately fails to file a return, files a fraudulent return, or attempts to evade the tax in any way may be liable for a penalty up to $7,500 or imprisonment for three to five years, or both.

# Rounding Off to Whole Dollars

Money items on the return and schedules can be shown in whole dollars (eliminate amounts under 50 cents; enter amounts of 50 cents or more as the next higher dollar amount).

# Signatures

The NJ-1065 is not considered to be a return unless signed, either by a general partner, limited liability company member or, if applicable, a receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, or assignee.
Anyone who prepares a partnership return for a fee must sign the return as a "Paid Preparer" and must enter their Social Security number or federal practitioner tax identification number. The company or corporation name and federal employer identification number must be included if applicable. The preparer required to sign the partnership return must sign it by hand; signature stamps or labels are not acceptable. If someone prepares the return at no charge, the paid preparer's area does not need to be completed. A tax preparer who fails to sign the return or provide a correct tax identification number may incur a $25 penalty for each omission.

# Nonresident Partners

A partnership that has New Jersey source income can file a composite return (NJ-1080-C) on behalf of its qualified nonresident partners who elect to be included in the composite filing. Tax will be calculated at the highest rate, which is 10.75%, without regard to each partner's filing status, dependent exemptions, or any deductions.
Composite estimated tax payments can also be made.
A partner cannot participate in the composite return if:

  • The partner is an estate or trust;
  • The partner is a partnership or corporation;
  • The partner files on a fiscal year basis;
  • The partner is a New Jersey resident during any part of the year;
  • The partner derives income from New Jersey sources other than the income from this or any other composite return.

Every participating partner must make the election to be part of the composite return in writing by filing an NJ-1080E with the filing entity each year. The elections must be maintained in the partnership files. When filed, the composite return must include a list of the partners who are participating, as well as a list of those who have not elected, or are not qualified, to participate in the composite return. The list must include each partner's name, address, and federal identification number. A qualified electing nonresident participant cannot revoke an election to be included in the composite return or make an election to be included in the composite return after April 15 following the close of the tax year.
If a composite return is filed, check the box labeled "Composite Return is filed for Nonresident Partners" on the front of the NJ-1065.

If a partnership's receipts are both within and outside New Jersey and the partnership believes that the determination of the portion of the partnership's income, gains, expenses, or losses attributable to sources within New Jersey by use of the NJ-NR-A does not provide an equitable allocation of such items, and the books and records of the partnership will disclose to the Director's satisfaction a more appropriate method of allocating such items, the partnership can request from the Director an exception from the use of the NJ-NR-A. Such request must be made in writing to: Gross Income Tax Branch, Business Allocation Exemption, PO Box 288, Trenton, NJ 08695-0288.
Your request for exception from the use of the NJ-NR-A must set forth the basis of the request and the substitute method of allocation requested to be used in lieu of the NJ-NR-A.

Partners who reside in New Jersey are taxed on their share of the partnership's income, regardless of the source of the income. Nonresident partners are also subject to New Jersey Gross Income Tax on their share of the partnership's income, but only to the extent such income is allocated to New Jersey.
If the partnership has met hedge fund status and has checked the hedge fund box listed on the partner's Schedule NJK-1, the nonresident individual, trust, or estate partner is not required to report the New Jersey source amount income from column B of their Schedule NJK-1 on their nonresident Gross Income Tax return.

# Business Allocation Schedule

If business activities are carried on both inside and outside New Jersey, use this form to determine the allocation factor. This will be applied to the business's operational income to determine the amount from New Jersey sources.
The allocation factor uses market-based sourcing, not cost of performance, to determine the portion of the business income sourced to New Jersey. The allocation factor is calculated using a single sales factor formula rather than a three-factor formula. See N.J.A.C. 18:7-

7.1 through N.J.A.C. 18:7-10.1 and Technical Bulletin

TB-112(R), Gross Income Tax Allocation Sourcing for the Receipts of Business Income, for more information.
Only activities related to operational activity are to be used when calculating the allocation factor. Do not include nonoperational activity or receipts from nonunitary partnerships.
Nonoperational income is income or loss generated by activities outside the regular trade or operating activities of a business. See N.J.S.A. 54:10A-6.1 for more information.
Receipts from lower tier nonunitary partnerships do not flow through to the taxpayer and are not included on the NJ-NR-A. However, receipts from lower tier unitary partnerships flow through and are included in the receipts reported on the NJ-NR-A.
Be sure that Form NJ‑NR‑A is enclosed with Form
NJ-1065 and that the name and address on the Business Allocation Schedule agree exactly with the name and address on the return with which it is enclosed.
