A-1730 Refund Claims for Paid Additional Tax Assessments (As authorized by N.J.S.A. 54:49-14b)

For tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 1999, instead of filing a protest within 90 days, a taxpayer who receives an additional tax assessment from the Division has the option of paying the assessment and then filing a refund claim using Form A-1730, provided that certain requirements have been satisfied:

Refund Claim Requirements

  1. The additional tax assessment must be for tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 1999.

  2. The taxpayer has not protested or appealed any part of the assessment.

  3. The additional tax assessment, including all penalty and interest charges associated with the tax, must have been paid within one year after the expiration of the period for protesting the assessment.

  4. No abatement of penalty was granted. If any abatement has been granted Form A-1730 cannot be used.

  5. The refund claim (Form A-1730) must be filed within 450 days after the expiration of the period for protesting the assessment.

  6. The grounds for the refund claim are limited to the issues on the deficiency assessment.

  7. All information requested on Form A-1730 must be included when the claim is submitted. Failure to complete all required lines on the form or to attach proper documentation may result in the claim being denied.

  1. Jeopardy Assessments
  2. Delinquency Assessments
  3. Estimated or Arbitrary Assessments
  4. Penalty & Interest Assessments
  5. Self Assessed Tax
