        Extension of Time to File a New Jersey Banking and Financial Corporation Tax Return

If a tentative return and tax payment are timely and properly filed, it is the policy of the Division of Taxation to 
grant an extension of no more than 6 months for filing the BFC-1. Approved extensions will not be confirmed in 
writing.

The return must include the computation of the tax liabilities. Report the estimated tax due on line 1, which 
must include any applicable surtax. If the amount on line 1 is less than $2,000, see minimum tax (below). If the 
amount on line 1 is $500 or less, the taxpayer may make a payment of 50% of line 1 on line 2 in lieu of making 
the installment payments. Taxpayers must report the Tentative Professional Fees on lines 4 and 5. Any tax-
payer with Professional Corporation Fee liabilities at line 3 must pay an installment payment of 50% of line 4 
on line 5. The completed BFC-200-T must be submitted with payment of the total amount due as reflected on 
line 7. The application must be postmarked on or before the original due date of the tax return.

Request for extension of time for filing a return must be signed by an officer of the corporation, an accountant 
authorized to prepare this return, or any duly authorized agent of the taxpayer. Tax preparers who fail to sign 
the return and provide their assigned tax identification number shall be liable for a $25 penalty for each such 
failure. If the tax preparer is not self-employed, the name of the tax preparer’s employer and the employer’s tax 
identification number should also be provided.

Minimum Tax: If the amount computed for line 1 is less than $2,000, enter the greater of the computed tax 
liability or the minimum tax assessed on the New Jersey Gross Receipts as follows:

        New Jersey Gross Receipts                 Minimum Tax
        Less than $100,000                                    $500
        $100,000 or more but less than $250,000               $750
        $250,000 or more but less than $500,000               $1,000
        $500,000 or more but less than $1,000,000             $1,500
        $1,000,000 or more                                    $2,000

Penalties and Interest: If the final return is not received by the extended due date, penalty and interest will be 
calculated as if the extension had not been granted. See instructions for the BFC-1 for information on penalties 
and interest.
