WHY DOES NJ S CORP FORMS SAY REFERENCE ONLY?

[Accountant-Man]

So we got the forms yesterday but we can't give them to clients yet?

I just got off the phone with support, there is no final release date for New Jersey, they are blaming New Jersey, and I was told to call New Jersey to find out the release date, what's up with that explanation?

Just updated and it still says REFERENCE ONLY - what in the hell.

[nj tax65]

They have no idea when it will be released final.  The rep told me to call NJ to find out the date it will be released final.  I think it's their job to do that, no mine. And I was also told, that a lot of customers left after last year,, that too isn't my problem.  It seems like they don't care.  Very poor customer service.

Anyone know if they can be e-filed but just not printed?  I get no errors when I do the final review saying that the forms are not final and can't be e-filed.  I see that they can't be printed because of the "reference only" watermark.

I was able to e-file and was accepted.  Forms still say reference only???

[jim h]

It might have to do with NJ requiring all Corp forms to be e-filed and not mailed it??

[LWGCPA]

The returns can be e-filed. Difficult to explain to the client what "Reference Only" means!

It is now May 30,2020 and the printout form still says reference only.  I am thinking that is because they must be e filed.  Who knows?

Yes, you can efile even though you cannot print the NJ forms
