🏛️ How to Fax the NJ Division of Taxation
Most New Jersey Division of Taxation notices and bills cannot be answered by fax: you respond online through the NJ Online Notice Response Service (NJ ONRS) or by mail to the PO box for that notice. Only two fax numbers are published. The Office of the Taxpayer Advocate takes Form NJ-OTA-911 at (609) 984-5491, and the Judgments Unit, which handles debts secured by a Certificate of Debt, takes fax at 609-292-9614. Up to 3 pages costs $2.99.

Answering a Notice or Bill: NJ ONRS or Mail, Not Fax
If the Division of Taxation sent you a notice or a bill, the Division says you can respond online through the New Jersey Online Notice Response Service, called NJ ONRS. The other route is mail, to the PO box listed for that type of notice. There is no general fax number for notices, and some documents must be mailed. For example, documents for the New Jersey Earned Income Tax Credit go to PO Box 266 and must be mailed.
NJ ONRS accepts PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and TIF files, but not Word, Excel or locked files. If you upload more documents later for the same notice, you enter the DLN or reference number from the upper right side of the notice. The Division's email contact page lists no fax numbers either, so a fax number you find on another website for "NJ taxation" should not be used for a notice.
The rule: answer a NJ Division of Taxation notice through NJ ONRS or by mail. Fax only the two offices that publish a fax number, and only for their own work.
Faxing the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate
The Office of the Taxpayer Advocate is the Division office that takes requests for assistance on Form NJ-OTA-911. Its main route is the Online Inquiry Form on the Division's website. You can also call (609) 292-6638, or send Form NJ-OTA-911, "Request for Assistance from the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate", by fax to (609) 984-5491 or by mail to PO Box 240, Trenton NJ 08695-0240.
If you are a representative, such as an accountant or a family member helping someone, Form NJ-OTA-911 has its own Power of Attorney section that you can complete. The office also says representatives should have a signed Appointment of Taxpayer Representative, Form M-5008-R, ready to submit upon request. To fax this office, select United States and type 6099845491.
Faxing the Judgments Unit
The Judgments Unit takes collection action on overdue tax debts that are secured by a Certificate of Debt in New Jersey Superior Court. If a letter from this unit asks you for documents, you can fax them to 609-292-9614 or mail them to PO Box 245, Trenton NJ 08695-0245. The Division does not list a phone number for this unit, so follow the instructions in the letter you received.
To fax the Judgments Unit, select United States and type 6092929614. Use this number only for Certificate of Debt and judgment matters, not for ordinary notices.
Entering a New Jersey Fax Number
Select United States and type all 10 digits, starting with the 609 area code. Do not type the leading 1, because +1 is added for you, and the box removes a 1 if you type one. Leave out spaces, dashes and brackets. The pay button turns on only when exactly 10 digits are in the box. More examples are in how to fax to a US number online.
What to Put on the Cover Page and Each Page
On the cover page, write "New Jersey Division of Taxation" and the office name, either "Office of the Taxpayer Advocate" or "Judgments Unit", your full name or business name as it appears on the notice, your phone number and email, the DLN or reference number from the upper right side of your notice, a short list of what is attached, and the total page count. Leave your Social Security number or tax ID off the cover page and write it only where a form asks for it.
On every other page, write your name and the notice's reference number in the margin, and number the pages, for example "Page 2 of 5". For the Taxpayer Advocate, put the completed Form NJ-OTA-911 right after the cover page, followed by copies of the notices and any papers that explain the problem.
Deadline and Your Record
Your deadline is the date on your notice or letter. Read the letter carefully, and send early rather than on the last day, so there is time to fix a problem if the fax does not go through. Delivery usually takes a few minutes.
After delivery you get a confirmation email with the destination number, the page count and the time it went through, in US Eastern Time. Keep it with your copy of the notice, because it is your record of exactly when it was sent. It does not replace the response route a notice asks for, so if your notice tells you to use NJ ONRS or mail, use that route.
Cost, Failed Faxes and Getting a Reply
A fax to a New Jersey number costs $2.99 for up to 3 pages, and each extra page is $0.99. If your cover page, Form NJ-OTA-911 and copies of your notices come to 5 pages, the total is $2.99 + 2 x $0.99 = $4.97; 8 pages is $7.94. There is no account, and nothing is printed on your document.
If the fax cannot be delivered, the full amount goes back to your card automatically. Check the number and send again. If the office will fax you a reply, our sister service GetAFax.com gives you a private US fax number for 24 hours for $5, with up to 30 pages arriving in your email as a PDF.
