Welcome to New Jersey's Online Business Registration

You may use this streamlined service to file for Business Taxes. Please note that your browser must be the most current version. Please see FAQs for any questions.

When should I use this application?

  • When you have already formed/authorized your business in NJ and need to register for tax purposes
  • When you are looking to start a Sole Proprietorship or Partnership

You should use the Online Formations application instead if:

  • You want to start a new legal business entity (LLC, Corporation, Limited Partnership etc.) in NJ
  • You need to authorize a legal entity in NJ for your business in another state

If you are registering a Federal S Corporation or Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary (QSSS):

  • You will need your federal election information and documents readily available
  • Note: If you have applied for Federal S or QSSS status but have not received an acceptance letter yet, you cannot complete the S Corporation or QSSS status section at this time. You will be able to update the information either when you file your tax return or by using our online S Corporation application at https://www.njportal.com/dor/scorp

Please use the navigation to the left to complete your Registration filing. Once you finish each section it will be marked with a check mark.
