New Jersey: What is my State Taxpayer ID and PIN?

    What are my New Jersey State Login and State PIN?

    NJ Sales Tax Login

    These are the details used to login to your e-file account at the New Jersey Division of Taxation e-file website.

    • The Taxpayer ID number and PIN you provide for AutoFile should be associated with your New Jersey Sales and Use Tax account number. These details should not be associated with other types of tax accounts with the state of New Jersey.

    Your NJ Taxpayer ID Number  = NJ State Taxpayer ID in the New Jersey AutoFile enrollment form.

    • According to the state, this ID is 12 digits and is typically your FEIN followed by a 3 digit suffix and this suffix is typically 000 or 001:

    Your New Jersey tax identification (ID) number has 12 digits. If you have a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), your New Jersey tax ID number is your FEIN followed by a 3 digit suffix. If you do not have a suffix, enter three zeroes. Do not use hyphens, slashes, or other punctuation. (Example: If your FEIN is 12-3456789, enter 123456789000). If you do not have a FEIN, your New Jersey tax ID number is usually the Social Security Number of the primary business owner followed by three zeroes."

    Your NJ PIN = NJ State PIN in the New Jersey AutoFile enrollment form. 

    • If you don't have a PIN, you may use your NJ Premier Business Services (PBS) account, instead. To use this site for AutoFile, you will need:
      • Your myNewJersey Login ID and Password used to access your PBS account
      • Important: Make sure that your business has been successfully added to your account, so that there are tax returns available to file.

Can I use AutoFile if I don't have a PIN?

What else should I know?

    If you plan to use your PBS account to file, confirm that your business has been successfully added to your state tax account, so that there will be returns generated to file.

    Make sure that you have an active sales tax license and that you have the most current login credentials for your account. 

    If you're not sure of the status of your license, you can check the registration paperwork you received, or contact the state directly to ask them to locate this detail for your account. (We list contact details for each state's DOR here.)
