TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy today signed Executive Order No. 189, which extends the filing deadline for 2019 Corporate Business Tax (CBT) calendar year returns being filed under extension to November 16, 2020, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The previous filing deadline for calendar year returns being filed under extension was October 15, 2020.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented circumstances for many of the businesses that call the Garden State home.” said Governor Murphy. “As a result, it has been difficult for many businesses to meet the deadline for both federal and state returns. We are again extending the deadline to give businesses more time to properly complete the filing process.”
