Dear Taxpayer, 

The year 2021 has continued to deliver challenges not seen in generations. Through it all, the Division has remained committed to our 
mission of administering the State’s tax laws uniformly, equitably, and efficiently. 

To that end, we paused the roll out of a standardized return. This has allowed us more time to collaborate both internally and with our 
stakeholders on how to best collect the data for the new format. The Division anticipates releasing a standardized return for tax year 
2022, which will be used instead of Forms CBT-100, BFC-1, or CBT-100U.

This collaboration has shed some light on some of the areas of the return that taxpayers find redundant. While the Division intends 
to address more of the concerns in the standardized return, this year’s tax return was updated with any changes that could be 
incorporated without too much manipulation. This includes removing Schedules B, C, and C-1. The Division will be using the Federal 
data in lieu of collecting the same information on our State-specific schedules. In addition, Schedule A-GR has been removed. The 
same information appears on Schedule J. So all filers, regardless of whether they’re nonallocating or only subject to the minimum tax, 
will need to complete Schedule J for 2021.

Many of the Executive Orders affecting Corporation Business Tax (CBT) that were signed in response to the pandemic are expiring. 
One EO that I want to make sure you are aware expired on October 1, 2021, is the waiver period for CBT nexus for teleworking 
employees. New Jersey had temporarily waived the CBT nexus standard, which is generally met if an out-of-State corporation has an 
employee working in New Jersey. As long as an out-of-State corporation did not meet any of the factors giving rise to nexus other than 
employees working from home in New Jersey solely due to the pandemic, New Jersey did not consider the out-of-State corporation to 
have nexus for CBT purposes during the waiver time period.

I think it’s also important to remind you that expenses paid for with Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loans are deductible and 
forgiven loans are excluded from CBT. See Loan and Grant Information for more information. 

As you file this year’s return, look for the “New for 2021” graphic throughout the instructions, which highlights this year’s tax changes.

Lastly, I want to make sure that all taxpayers are aware of the New Jersey Economic Recovery Act of 2020. This legislation created or 
revised certain economic programs in the State. I encourage taxpayers to review the Act and see if they’re eligible for any of the various 
incentives. 

As we continue through this unprecedented time, I can assure you that the Division will continue to do its best to be responsive to 
the needs of our taxpayers. We are all on this journey together as we navigate through this global pandemic. We hope that all your 
employees, colleagues, and families remain safe and healthy during this time.
