NEW JERSEY STATE RETURNS

[Jerseygirl02]

Seems NJ is doing the same as the IRS this year. They are delaying refunds, AGAIN. I was asked to enter my DL number. I did, it states it can get your refund processed faster.

ThE following information I copied it from the IRS website. It seems those of us who are doing our own taxes are the most affected.

How New Security Safeguards will Affect You for 2017

How will the new safeguards affect me?
Our goal is to verify your identity and the validity of your return before the return is accepted for processing. We’ve been working with state tax agencies and the tax industry to strengthen safeguards that protect you from identity theft. The 2017 safeguards are aimed at those of you who prepare your own federal and state tax returns using tax software.
The IRS, the states and tax industry will be sharing and analyzing data that will help us spot identity theft returns.
There are multiple safeguards in place that don’t require you to do anything. We will do it all behind the scenes.
You may experience some minor inconvenience in the way of an additional step or two, which are for your protection. For example, some of you may have to enter a 16-character code found on your Form W-2. This helps us verify the accuracy of the information. Or, those of you using a software product for the first time will need your 2015 adjusted gross income to complete the electronic filing process.
Additionally, a new law passed by Congress requires the IRS to hold any refund claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit until Feb.15. This is to give the IRS time to verify the accuracy of the return. Please note that due to the time it takes refunds to work through the banking and financial institutions, as well as weekends and holidays, people with these credits may not see their refunds until the week of Feb. 27.
Also some states may ask for driver’s license numbers as an additional authentication step. You do not need a driver’s license to file your federal return.
