You have options to electronically file your 1099s:

1. Online Upload Service: You may upload Forms NJ-W-3, W-2, W-2G, and/or 1099 with this service. There is no limit to the number of documents you can upload at once. Visit the FAQ webpage to learn more about this service and other specifications.

2. File on NJ website: If you are registered to withhold New Jersey Income Tax, log into your account to electronically file Forms W-2, 1099 and NJ-W-3. If you are not required to register, create an online account to file.

3. File using Axway: For those filing at least 100 forms, you can electronically file Forms NJ-W-3 and W2/1099 using our secure electronic bulk filing service provider. Visit the E-filing services webpage to learn how.

Make sure you have credentials to log in to New Jersey's secure website Axway. Axway is the same website for electronically filing Forms NJ-927/WR-30 with New Jersey. Email New Jersey at e-GovServices@treas.nj.gov to obtain credentials if you don't already have them for e-filing.

When applying for an Axway Account it is advisable to indicate in the email that your software does format the file correctly and that you "anticipate" filing more than 100 New Jersey Forms.

NJ-W3 filings require employers to be registered with the State of New Jersey for payroll tax purposes. You may use the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services’ (DORES) Business Registration service to register. All other returns can be filed without a registration.
Form NJ-W-3 Located in CFS Payroll System under “W-2/1099 Information Returns”
You must file Form NJ-W-3 along with copies of all supporting documents (W-2, 1099-R, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, W2G, etc.), whether or not they show New Jersey withholdings.

• If filing a corrected W-2, 1099-R, 1099-MISC, W-2G, etc., submit an amended Form NJ-W-3. Include a copy of the corrected W-2, 1099-R, 1099-MISC, W-2G, etc., with the amended Form NJ-W-3

• If filing a corrected NJ-W-3 only, submit an amended Form NJ-W-3. You do not need to attach the W-2s or 1099s you submitted with the original W-3.

Note: If the correction changes the amount of tax reported and you already filed quarterly returns, you must amend each quarterly return affected by the change. See Correcting Form NJ-927, NJ-927-W, or NJ-927-H.

Payers of Proceeds from Real Estate Transaction If you are required to report the proceeds from real estate transactions to the IRS on federal Form 1099-S (or any other form which the Internal Revenue Code may designate), you are also required to submit all reports to the Division of Taxation if the real estate being sold or exchanged is partially or entirely located in New Jersey.
