Is Social Security Taxed in New Jersey?
Short answer: No. New Jersey does not tax Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, and they are not reported on the state return.
Federally, up to 85% of benefits can be taxable depending on your combined income (IRS Pub 915); that part doesn't change by state.
Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
