Since we cannot see your return, I am not sure if you forgot an item on your New Jersey tax return. Some of the most common reasons to have increased tax liability (and less of a refund) are: Less state income tax was taken out of your earnings You were in a higher tax bracket due to earning more money You took on an additional job You sold investments You had a change in filing status There are a lot of factors that could affect your tax refund or amount due from year to year. To really understand the exact differences, you would have to do a line-by-line comparison of your return.

Question

Every year we usually get a small refund from NJ. Ususally about $50.00. This year the refund is zero. Did I forget something? Thank you for the help.
