Definitions: Qualified Person means an extended employee, within the meaning of that term as set forth in section 2 of P.L.1971, c.272 (C.34:1640), to whom the Commissioner of the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, under subsection (b) of section 18 of P.L.1966, c.113(C.34:11-56a17) shall have issued a special license authorizing employment at wages less than the minimum wage rate, and who, for at least 26 weeks during the tax year, shall have performed at least 25 hours per week of work at or under the supervision of a sheltered workshop pursuant to a contract between the taxpayer and the sheltered workshop.

Combined Return Filers If filing a combined return, the form must be completed by the member that earned the credit. All combined return filers must check the combined return filers box at the top of the form and complete Part IV, Section A. Members Opting Not to Share.

In addition to Section A, members that choose not to share must also complete Part IV, Section B and fill in the oval at the top of the form to indicate they are not sharing the credit. Taxpayers must include the appropriate credit form in the year the credit was earned even if they are not claiming the credit on their tax return.

Part III – Calculation of the Allowable Credit Amount and Carryover (for CBT-100 and CBT-100S Filers only) For CBT-100 and CBT-100S filers, the allowable Sheltered Workshop Tax Credit for the current tax period is calculated in Part III. Combined return filers do not complete Part III, and must complete Part IV instead. The amount of this credit in addition to the amount of any other tax credits taken is limited to 50% of the taxpayer’s total tax liability and cannot exceed an amount that would reduce the total tax liability below the statutory minimum. Line 11 – The minimum tax is assessed based on the New Jersey Gross Receipts as follows: New Jersey Gross Receipts Less than $100,000 CBT-100 CBT-100S $500 $375 $100,000 or more but less than $250,000 $750 $562 $250,000 or more but less than $500,000 $1,000 $750 $500,000 or more but less than $1,000,000 $1,500 $1,125 $1,000,000 or more $2,000 $1,500 If a taxpayer is filing a separate return and is a member of an affiliated or controlled group that has a total payroll of $5,000,000 or more for the return period, the minimum tax is $2,000. Tax periods of less than 12 months are subject to the higher minimum tax if the prorated total payroll exceeds $416,667 per month. Line 15 – Taxpayers claiming multiple credits must list any credits already applied to the tax liability to ensure accuracy of the calculation for maximum credit allowable. Part IV – Calculation of the Allowable Credit Amount and Carryover for Combined Return Filers For CBT-100U filers, the allowable Sheltered Workshop Tax Credit for the current year is calculated in Part IV. All combined return filers must complete Section A. Members that choose not to share their credit must also complete Section B. Section A – To be completed by ALL combined return filers This section calculates the amount of credit allowable for the group. If a member chooses not to share their credit with the group, Section A must still be completed to ensure the credit allowed for the member does not exceed the amount that would otherwise be allowed against the group tax liability. The amount of the credit calculated in this section cannot exceed 50% of the group tax liability otherwise due and cannot reduce the tax liability to an amount less than the aggregate statutory minimum tax of the group members. Line 20 – Multiply the number of taxable group members by $2,000 and enter the result. Line 24 – Combined groups claiming multiple credits must list any credits already applied to the group tax liability to ensure accuracy of the calculation for maximum credit allowable. Section B This section is used to calculate the amount of credit allowable for members that choose not to share their credit with the group. Section B is completed based on the member’s share of the group tax liability. The amount of the credit calculated in this section cannot exceed 50% of the member’s tax liability otherwise due and cannot reduce the tax liability to an amount less than $2,000. The amount of the credit is also limited to the amount that would otherwise be allowed against the group tax liability if the member had been sharing the credit. Line 33 – Members claiming multiple credits must list any credits already applied to the member’s tax liability to ensure accuracy of the calculation for maximum credit allowable.

Form 317 is a New Jersey Corporate Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
