A 2993 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Allows New Jersey S corporations to elect to transfer corporation business tax credits to shareholders to apply against the shareholders' gross income tax liability.

This bill allows New Jersey S corporations to elect to pass certain business tax credits directly to their shareholders. Instead of using these credits to reduce the corporation's own tax bill, the credits are transferred to shareholders to apply against their personal income tax liabilities. The credits include incentives like research, job creation, and urban development programs. Shareholders can use these transferred credits to lower their individual tax payments, but the amount applied is limited to 50% of their tax liability related to the S corporation's income.
