The State of New Jersey issued me a check that was lost, stolen or destroyed, or that can't be cashed because the cash by date has passed. How do I get a replacement? Old stale-dated Checks. If you have the check, send it along with a letter requesting a replacement check to the New Jersey Division of Taxation at the address below.
Do not write the word void anywhere on the check. Keep a copy of the check for your records. If you do not want to use the mail, you can return the check to one of our Regional Information Centers.
Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Checks. If you do not receive your check within 30 days of the date the check was issued, or if you received a check that was lost, stolen, or destroyed, you can request a replacement check. The Division will trace the check. You can also request a check tracer for your New Jersey Income Tax refund check for the current year by calling the Division's Automated Refund Inquiry System at Due to the volume of claims, please allow up to 90 days for a replacement check to be issued.
I received only one State copy of my W-2, and I have more than one state return to file. What should I do? New Jersey will accept a photocopy of your W-2 form s , as long as the copy is legible. When you file your return electronically, you do not have to send any supporting documents unless specifically requested to do so by the Division of Taxation.
You should keep these documents for your records, as you may be asked to submit them at a later date. If you file an amended return, you must submit all supporting schedules, forms, or documents you would have included if you filed your original return on paper.
