If you are due a refund, you can expect it to be mailed within two weeks. And, if you file a return electronically, you may request that either your New Jersey income tax refund check, or homestead rebate check, or both, be directly deposited into your account at a bank or other financial institution. If you have a balance due with your return, you can file early and send in your check later. You can also pay by credit card. Please note, if you have changed your name since you last filed a return, be sure to notify the State of New Jersey of the change.
Name changes are the largest cause for delays in processing electronically filed returns.
