Who can I call about my NJ tax refund?

Who should you call first about an NJ tax refund?

Call the New Jersey Division of Taxation’s automated refund line at 1-800-323-4400 for a direct update linked with your filed return.

Can you check the NJ tax refund status online instead of calling?

Yes. The state’s refund status page can present the nj tax refund status once the details from your NJ-1040 are entered.

What should you have ready before you contact the state?

The following items should be nearby in order to present exact figures:

SSN used on the return
Refund amount from the filed NJ return
Filing method — e-file or paper
Direct-deposit routing and account numbers — if you asked for deposit

When does it make sense to call a CPA first?

A CPA should be called when the problem is about facts or paperwork — not just “where is my NJ tax refund?”

Scenario	Best next call
A letter asks for proof and identity checks or extra forms	CPA review before responding
The status stays in “processing” long past the state’s earliest tracking window	CPA return review + document preparation
The refund is smaller than expected	CPA check of withholding & credits and residency items
The refund was applied to a government debt	CPA review of the offset and related records

How can you get a clear answer in one try?

Take the following actions before you call:

Open the NJ-1040 and any schedules you filed
Pull the W-2s/1099s that show NJ withholding
If you moved — keep one document per address period
Write down any message shown by the online tracker
