Question

I am living abroad and saying I am a non resident of New Jersey. Can I use a freinds mailing address to e-file and direct deposit my return? How would I do this?

I am a U.S. citizen. New Jersey will not let me direct deposit my return if I am a non resident. this is a problem because I can not cash a check where I live. Can i put in a friends U.S. address so my return can be direct deposited into my account?

If you are abroad, you are either a NJ resident or shouldn't be filing a NJ return at all. You would only be a nonresident of NJ if your residency was in another US state and you had NJ source income, such as rental property in NJ.

Unless you have permanently given up residence in the States, you are still a domiciled legal resident of NJ. You should be filing a resident return. See below (page 7 of NJ instructions)

New Jersey Residents Working/Living Abroad. If New Jersey is your domicile and you are considered a New Jersey resident for tax purposes (see chart on page 6), you are subject to tax on income from all sources (worldwide income) regardless of where you live. New Jersey residents living abroad are subject to the same filing and payment requirements, including estimated payment requirements (see “Estimated Tax” on page 13), as residents living in New Jersey. New Jersey residents who have income from abroad cannot claim a credit for taxes paid to other jurisdictions for taxes paid to any foreign country or territory (e.g., Canada, Puerto Rico).

If you don't qualify as a resident of NJ (and please be careful about this), then you wouldn't have a NJ return unless you had NJ source income.

johnringo116 probably moved out of the US during the year. (There may be additional reasons he may be due a NJ refund.) You may use a friend/relative's US mailing address on your NJ return. No problem. Just choose someone who won't mind receiving any future mail NJ sends them for you.

File the 1040NR claiming the interest since you weren't living in the US at all in 2020.

if the interest earned less than 10k, i don't need to file a NJ NR return, correct?

If you are required to file Form 1040NR (for the US), you must use Sprintax to do so. On that site it will assist you to file the NJ return correctly, if such is needed.
