New Jersey Baby Boomer

Opinions vary on our relatively newly elected Governor, Chris Christie. He is making headlines and media appearances not just here in New Jersey, but on other news stations as well because of the open and bold stands that he is taking.

What he is doing in our State is so very different from what the President is doing in our Nation…he is making everyone share the challenge of cutting back, something I wish was happening in our Nation.

I guess in my simplistic way I see this as a kind of experiment….what will be the outcome of what our Governor is doing in our State as opposed to what our President and his administration is doing to our Nation.

I don’t know if the experiment will work, because of concern about how what is being done on the National level will affect what happens to each State.

Time will tell, but I’m pleased for the most part with what Governor Christie is doing, even if sometimes it hurts.

I rarely share political opinions on here, but I’m just sayin….

I finished mine yesterday…online.  You can do your New Jersey Income Taxes free online if you like, but since I’ve been using TaxAct for a few years now, and my records are all in their “system”, I just used it again this year….it was only $17 and change to file both returns.

But for those of you who want to do yours free, the New Jersey State return, that is, you can go to this link - you will probably qualify, I always used to when I used the service.

The IRS also has a FreeFile service that might be useful to you.

Your life circumstances will determine which is best, for us, paying the small fee to have our information carried over from year to year, and the Federal information transferred to the State return, and all filing managed by TaxAct works well, as do other similar income tax services.

What have you used to file your New Jersey returns?
