         18:33-1.6       Procedures  
   
 18:33-1.1     General provisions  
   
 (a) The Director of the Division of Taxation or any of his delegated representatives may enter into a 
 written agreement with any person relating to the liability of such person (or of the person or estate for 
 whom he acts) in respect to any State tax administered by the Director of the Division of Taxation for any 
 taxable period ending prior or subsequent to the date of such agreement. A closing agreement may be 
 entered into in any case in which there appears to be an advantage in having the case permanently and 
 conclusively closed, or if good and sufficient reasons are shown by the taxpayer for desiring a closing 
 agreement and it is determined by the director that the State of New Jersey will sustain no disadvantage 
 through consummation of such an agreement.  
 (b) A closing agreement may be executed even though under the agreement the taxpayer is not liable for 
 any tax for the period to which the agreement relates. There may be a series of closing agreements 
 relating to the tax liability for a single period.  
   
 18:33-1.2     Taxable periods  
   
 (a) Closing agreements with respect to taxable periods ended prior to the date of the agreement may relate 
 to the total tax liability of the taxpayer or to any or more separate items affecting the tax liability of the 
 taxpayer, as, for example, the amount of gross receipt, deduction items, other income items, statutory 
 deductions or exclusions, statutory additions to income, the year in which an item of income is to be 
 included in gross receipts or income, the year in which an item is to be deducted, or the value of property 
 on a specific date.  
 (b) Closing agreements with respect to taxable periods ending subsequent to the date of the agreement 
 may relate to one or more separate items affecting the tax liability of the taxpayer.  
   
 18:33-1.3     Finality; determination of fraud  
   
         (a) A closing agreement which is approved within such time as may be stated in such agreement, 
 or later agreed to, shall be final an conclusive, and, expect upon a showing of fraud or malfeasance, or 
 misrepresentation of a material fact.  

                 1. The case shall not be reopened as to the matters agreed upon or the agreement 
                     modified by an officer, employee, or agent of the State of New Jersey; and  
                 2. In any suit, action, or  proceeding, such  agreement, or  any determination, 
                     assessment, collection, payment, abatement, refund, or credit made in accordance 
                     therewith, shall  
                     not be annulled, modified, set aside, or disregarded. However, a closing agreement 
                     with respect to a taxable period ending subsequent to the date of the agreement is 
                     subject to any change in, or modification of, the law enacted subsequent to the date 
                     of the agreement and made applicable to such taxable period, and each closing 
                     agreement so recited.  
         (b) Execution and approval of closing agreement does not preclude an additional inspection of the 
 taxpayer’s records to determine whether fraud, malfeasance, or misrepresentation of material fact exists as 
 to execution of agreement.  
   
 18:33-1.4       Procedure with respect to closing agreements  
           
         (a) A request for a closing agreement which relates to a prior taxable period may be submitted at 
 any time before a case with respect to the tax liability involved is filed in the Division of Tax Appeals. All 
 closing agreements shall be executed on forms prescribed by the Director of the Division of Taxation.  
         (b) Any tax or deficiency in tax determined pursuant to a closing agreement shall be assessed and 
 collected, and any overpayment determined pursuant thereto shall be credited or refunded, in accordance 
 with the applicable provisions of law.  
   
 18:33-1.5       Applicability and coverage; policy  
   
 (a) The Director of the Division of Taxation or any Division of Taxation officer or employee authorized in 
 writing by the Director,  can enter  and  approve written closing agreements  with  any person.  Such 
 agreement can relate to the liability of such person (or the taxpayer represented by him), for any State tax 
 administered by the Division of Taxation for any taxable period. The agreement can cover either the total 
 liability of taxpayer or one or more of separate items affecting the liability, if it embraces a tax period 
 ending before the date of the agreement; or one or more separate items affecting tax liability.   
 There can be a series of agreements covering a single tax period.  
 (b) A closing agreement may be entered into when it appears advantageous to have the case permanently 
 closed; or where the taxpayer shows sufficient reason for desiring a closing agreement, and there would 
 be no disadvantage to the State of New Jersey in entering into it. Closing agreements can be entered into, 
 although under the agreement taxpayer is not liable for tax for the period covered.  
   
 18:33-1.6       Procedures  
   
         (a) A request to enter into a closing agreement is executed on prescribed forms and submitted, 
 processed and approved under prescribed procedure. If the proposed agreement relates to a prior taxable 
 period, it must be submitted before a case with respect to the tax liability is filed in the Division of Tax 
 Appeals or in any Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey or in any Federal Court.  
         (b) Where parties entered into a stipulation, on trial, or any matter regarding taxpayer’s liability, 
 and the action is dismissed with prejudice, taxpayer shall not be permitted to repudiate the agreement 
 because a closing agreement was not executed by the Director of the Division of Taxation.  
         (c) Taxpayer’s acceptance of  a determination of  additional  tax under which an assessment  of 
 additional tax was made and paid,  does not preclude the Director from determining an additional 
 deficiency for the year.  
         (d) The Director of the Division of Taxation is not estopped from issuing a deficiency assessment.  
 Acceptance  of  a  sum  submitted  with  an  amended  return  does  not  discharge  a  taxpayer  from  further 
 liability; a deficiency assessment is not a closing agreement.

Instructions for Form M-5008-R 
Use this form to designate a representative(s) and grant the representative(s) the authority to obligate, bind, and/or appear on your 
behalf before the New Jersey Division of Taxation. Section 3 of the form allows you to list which tax matters your representative 
is authorized to handle on your behalf.  

You  may authorize the representative(s) to receive your confidential tax information. Unless otherwise indicated, the 
representative(s) may also perform any and all acts that you can perform regarding your taxes. This includes consenting to extend 
the time to assess tax or agreeing to a tax adjustment. Representatives may not sign returns or delegate authority unless specifically 
authorized to do so on this form.  
Form M-5008-R Is not Required:  
• When an individual appears with you or with a representative who is authorized to act on your behalf. For example, this 
form is not required if a representative appears on behalf of a corporate taxpayer with an authorized corporate officer;  
• If a trustee, receiver, or attorney has been appointed by a court that has jurisdiction over a debtor;  
• If an individual merely furnishes tax information or prepares a report or return for you;  
• When a fiduciary  stands in the position of, and acts as, the taxpayer. However, if a fiduciary  wishes to authorize an 
individual to represent or act on behalf of the taxpayer, the fiduciary must sign and file Form M-5008-R.  
Limitations  
Appointing a representative does not relieve you of tax responsibilities or obligations. This form allows another person to represent 
you in most matters concerning tax administration, tax investigations, examinations/audits, and other meetings with the Division. 
Because you remain responsible for your tax obligations,  a representative’s authority does not extend to some aspects of the 
collection process. Examples of the collection process are: judgments, levies, liens, and seizures. In  these instances,  we  may 
require telephone communication, direct contact, and/or interaction with the taxpayer.   
Who Can Execute the Appointment of Taxpayer Representative?  
• An individual, if the request pertains to a personal Income or individual Use Tax return filed by that individual (or by an 
individual and his or her spouse/CU partner if the request pertains to a joint Income Tax return and joint representation is 
requested). If joint representation is not requested, each taxpayer must file his or her own form.  
• If the taxpayer is a limited liability company (LLC), a manager of the LLC. If there is no manager, a member of the LLC 
authorized to act on tax matters on behalf of the entity.  
• A sole proprietor.  
• A general partner of a partnership or limited partnership.  
• The administrator or executor of an estate.  
• The trustee of a trust.  
• If the taxpayer is a corporation, a principal officer or corporate officer who is authorized to act on tax matters and has 
legal authority to reach agreements on behalf of the corporation; any person who is designated by the board of directors or 
other governing body of the corporation; any officer or employee of the corporation upon written request signed by a principal 
officer of the corporation and attested by the secretary or other officer of the corporation; or any other person who is 
authorized to receive or inspect the corporation’s return or return information under I.R.C. §6103(e)(1)(D).  
Tax Matters  
You may enter more than one tax type and indicate the tax year(s) and/or tax period(s) applicable in Section 3. If you designate a 
specific tax but no tax year or period, the M-5008-R will apply to all tax years and periods. If you designate a specific tax year or 
period but not a specific tax type, this form will apply to all tax types for the designated tax year or period. If you do not designate 
either a tax type or a tax period, this form will apply to all taxes and all periods.  
Retention/Revocation of Prior Powers of Attorney and/or Appointments of Taxpayer Representative  
By executing and filing the M-5008-R with the Division of Taxation, you are revoking all M-5008-R previously executed and filed 
with this Division for the same tax matter(s), year(s), and period(s) covered by this form.  
You may not partially revoke a previously filed Form M-5008-R. If a previously filed Form M-5008-R or Power of Attorney has 
more than one representative and you do not want to retain all the representatives on the previously filed form, you must execute a 
new form indicating the representative(s) retained.  
Signature of Taxpayer(s)  
You, or an individual  you authorize to execute the Form  M-5008-R on  your behalf,  must sign and date the  form. You or the 
representative(s) may be required to provide identification and evidence of authority to sign this document.  
Individuals. If the matter for which the appointment is prepared involves a joint Income Tax return and the same individual(s) will 
represent both spouses/CU partners, both  must sign Form M-5008-R,  unless one  spouse/CU partner authorizes the other, in 
writing, to sign for both. In that case, you must attach a copy of the authorization to the appointment. If the matter for which the 

appointment is prepared involves a joint return and different individuals will represent the spouses/CU partners, each must execute 
his or her own Appointment of Taxpayer Representative.  
Corporations. The president, vice-president, treasurer, assistant treasurer, or any other officer of the corporation having authority 
to bind the corporation must sign Form M-5008-R.  
Partnerships. All partners must sign Form M-5008-R, or if the form is executed on behalf of the partnership only, a partner duly 
authorized to act for the partnership must sign it. A partner is authorized to act for the partnership if, under state law, the partner 
has authority to bind the partnership.  
Limited Liability Companies (LLC). A member or manager must sign Form M-5008-R, or, if the form is executed on behalf of 
the LLC only, a member or manager duly authorized to act for the LLC must sign it, and the signor must certify that he/she has 
such authority.

National Standards: Food, Clothing and Other Items 

Disclaimer: IRS Collection Financial Standards are intended for use in calculating repayment of delinquent 
taxes. These Standards are effective on March 25, 2019 for purposes of federal tax administration only. 
Expense information for use in bankruptcy calculations can be found on the website for the U.S. Trustee 
Program. 

Download the national standards for food, clothing and other items in PDF format for printing. Please note 
that the standard amounts change, so if you elect to print them, check back periodically to assure you have 
the latest version. 

National Standards have been established for five necessary expenses: food, housekeeping supplies, apparel 
and services, personal care products and services, and miscellaneous. 

The standards are derived from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) 
and defined as follows: 

Food includes food at home and food away from home. Food at home refers to the total expenditures for 
food from grocery stores or other food stores. It excludes the purchase of nonfood items. Food away from 
home includes all meals and snacks, including tips, at fast-food, take-out, delivery and full-service 
restaurants, etc. 

Housekeeping supplies includes laundry and cleaning supplies, stationery supplies, postage, delivery 
services, miscellaneous household products, and lawn and garden supplies. 

Apparel and services includes clothing, footwear, material, patterns and notions for making clothes, 
alterations and repairs, clothing rental, clothing storage, dry cleaning and sent-out laundry, watches, jewelry 
and repairs to watches and jewelry. 

Personal care products and services includes products for the hair, oral hygiene products, shaving needs, 
cosmetics and bath products, electric personal care appliances, and other personal care products. 

The miscellaneous allowance is for expenses taxpayers may incur that are not included in any other 
allowable living expense items, or for any portion of expenses that exceed the Collection Financial Standards 
and are not allowed under a deviation. Taxpayers can use the miscellaneous allowance to pay for expenses 
that exceed the standards, or for other expenses such as credit card payments, bank fees and charges, reading 
material and school supplies. 

Taxpayers are allowed the total National Standards amount monthly for their family size, without 
questioning the amounts they actually spend. If the amount claimed is more than the total allowed by the 
National Standards for food, housekeeping supplies, apparel and services, and personal care products and 
services, the taxpayer must provide documentation to substantiate those expenses are necessary living 
expenses. Deviations from the standard amount are not allowed for miscellaneous expenses. Generally, the 
total number of persons allowed for National Standards should be the same as those allowed as dependents 
on the taxpayer’s most recent year income tax return.
