Establishes ReadyReturn program; requires Taxation to prepare initial tax filing for certain taxpayers; requires several State agencies to use tax data to facilitate identification and enrollment for certain social services programs; makes an appropriation.
This bill creates the ReadyReturn program in New Jersey, which allows the Division of Taxation to prepare initial income tax filings for low-income residents who typically do not file because their earnings fall below the required threshold. The program aims to help these individuals access the Earned Income Tax Credit and other benefits by removing barriers related to form access, document delivery, and filing complexity. Additionally, the legislation requires several state agencies to use existing tax data to streamline identification and enrollment for various social services programs, reducing the burden on applicants who must currently complete separate applications. The bill also includes an appropriation to fund these initiatives, with the goal of increasing tax compliance and improving access to essential safety net resources.
