New Jersey 2021 Fiscal return

[Laura49]

I have a client who has a July 31 year end located in New Jersey.  I have the return prepared in ProSeries but I am still getting an error message that I cannot efile it.  I filed the federal return by Nov 15 but the NJ fiscal return wasn't even available then.  Does anyone know when the due date is for a Fiscal business return with a year ending July 31, 2021.  The NJ instructions say the 15th day of the fourth month after the year end but the NJ 2021 return wasn't even finalized in Nov. 2021.

Normally the Nominal year of the return is the year in which the Year Starts.

IE. August 1 2020 through July 31 2021 would be filed on 2020 tax forms.

(not sure if your Return is a full 12 months or a short year which may change my scenario above.)

Thanks Jeff, but that is not true in New Jersey.  The 2020 fiscal business return is filed for businesses with years ending July 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021.  I have to use the 2021 fiscal business return since my client's year end is July 31, 2021.
