How to Fax the New Jersey Division of Taxation
Updated October 2026
You need to send something to the New Jersey Division of Taxation and want to fax it. Be aware up front: only two units publish a fax number, the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate at (609) 984-5491 and the Judgments Unit at 609-292-9614. Notices are answered through NJ ONRS or by mail, not by fax.
Quick answer: There is no general fax number for the NJ Division of Taxation. Fax the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate at (609) 984-5491 or the Judgments Unit (debts secured by a Certificate of Debt) at 609-292-9614. To answer a notice, use the NJ Online Notice Response Service (NJ ONRS) or mail it to the PO box for that notice type. Faxing either unit here costs $1.00 for up to 10 pages.
In this guide
The Two NJ Division of Taxation Fax Numbers
| Unit | Use it for | Fax | Type this here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Office of the Taxpayer Advocate | Asking the state advocate for help with a tax problem | (609) 984-5491 | 6099845491 |
| Judgments Unit | Debts secured by a Certificate of Debt | 609-292-9614 | 6092929614 |
Those are the only two fax numbers we can confirm for the Division. We do not list any others, and you should be wary of pages that do. If a letter you received prints its own fax number, that letter is the place to trust.
Answering a Notice: Use NJ ONRS or Mail
Most people looking for a fax number have a notice in hand. The Division does not take notice responses by general fax. You have two routes: answer online through the NJ Online Notice Response Service (NJ ONRS), or mail your response to the PO box for that notice type, which is printed on the notice itself. NJ ONRS accepts PDF, JPEG, PNG and TIFF files, but not Word or Excel files or locked files.
Faxing a notice response to the Taxpayer Advocate or the Judgments Unit is not a substitute for the route on your notice. Answer the notice the way it says, by the date it gives, and contact the advocate separately if you need help.
Faxing the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate
The office's main route is its Online Inquiry Form, but you can also fax Form NJ-OTA-911, Request for Assistance from the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate, to (609) 984-5491, or mail it to PO Box 240, Trenton, NJ 08695-0240. The phone number is (609) 292-6638 if you want to talk first. If someone is contacting the advocate for you, such as an accountant, attorney or family member, Form NJ-OTA-911 has its own power of attorney section, and the Division asks representatives to have a signed Appointment of Taxpayer Representative (Form M-5008-R) ready to submit upon request.
On the cover page, write "Attention: Office of the Taxpayer Advocate", your name, the last four digits of your Social Security number or your New Jersey business ID, the tax type and period, any notice or letter number, the page count, and a daytime phone. In two or three sentences, say what is wrong and what you have already tried. Put your name and the last four digits of your ID on every page that follows, and attach copies of the notices involved.
For the federal side of the same idea, the IRS has its own Taxpayer Advocate Service, covered in our Form 911 guide. It is a separate agency from the New Jersey office.
Faxing the Judgments Unit
Fax 609-292-9614, or mail PO Box 245, Trenton, NJ 08695-0245, for matters about a debt secured by a Certificate of Debt. On the cover page, write "Attention: Judgments Unit", your name or business name, the last four digits of your ID, any reference or docket number on the letter you received, the page count and your phone number. Put the same reference number on every page.
If your question is about a regular tax bill or notice instead, the Judgments Unit is not the right place. Go back to NJ ONRS or the PO box on the notice.
Cost, Number Format and Your Record
A letter to the advocate or the Judgments Unit with a few attached notices fits in 10 pages for $1.00. 11 to 25 pages is $1.99 and 26 to 50 pages is $2.99. There is no account and no subscription.
Type the 10 digits with the area code and no leading 1. We already add the +1. Your fax is usually delivered within a few minutes, and you get a confirmation email with the destination number, the page count and the time it was sent, in Eastern Time. That is your record of exactly when it was sent. If the fax cannot be delivered, your money goes back to your card automatically. For deadlines, go by the date on your notice or letter.
