The New Jersey Division of Taxation has issued detailed instructions for reporting discrepancies between federal and state tax documents from lower-tier partnerships on the 2023 NJ-1065. This guidance is crucial for reconciling federal K-1s with NJK-1s.

For the 2023 NJ-1065, taxpayers should use Lines 13b and 15e to address differences:

  • Line 13b should be used to report any state income additions if the net NJK-1 amounts from the lower-tier partnerships exceed the federal K-1 amounts. This line captures state additions to income that were not reflected elsewhere on the form.
  • Line 15e should be used to report state income deductions if the net NJK-1 amounts are less than the federal K-1 amounts. This ensures that deductions are accurately represented in line with state reporting requirements.

To complete the NJ-1065 correctly, compare the federal K-1s and NJK-1s, calculate the differences, and enter them on the appropriate lines.
