NJ-500, NJ-927, NJ-W-3, W-2, and 1099 dates
Monthly NJ-500 reminders for first and second months of each quarter, quarterly NJ-927 withholding return reminders, and February 15 year-end New Jersey W-2, NJ-W-3, and 1099 filing reminders.
Download the TimeTrex New Jersey payroll calendar for Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and other iCalendar tools. It combines New Jersey withholding, NJ-927, WR-30, NJ-W-3, state wage-and-rate reminders, federal payroll dates, and payroll banking holidays into one editable calendar layer.
The file is built for New Jersey employers, payroll teams, accountants, HR teams, and operators who want fixed payroll compliance dates visible before quarter-end and year-end pressure hits.
Monthly NJ-500 reminders for first and second months of each quarter, quarterly NJ-927 withholding return reminders, and February 15 year-end New Jersey W-2, NJ-W-3, and 1099 filing reminders.
Quarterly Department of Labor wage-reporting and contribution reminders reflect NJDOL's 30th-day rule, including the no-extension note for weekends and holidays.
Federal monthly depositor reminders, Form 941 dates, conditional FUTA checkpoints, federal year-end payroll forms, and conditional extension reminders are included as a planning layer.
January setup reminders help payroll teams refresh New Jersey minimum wage, UI/DI/FLI worker rates, taxable wage bases, and wage-hour settings before the first payroll of the year.
Annual review reminders cover regular payday timing, New Jersey wage-payment rules, earned sick leave controls, construction contractor withholding, and weekly-payer status.
Holiday reminders help teams plan around direct deposit, ACH, state agency availability, and payroll tax support timing.
Important: Some obligations cannot be fully scheduled in a generic file. New Jersey weekly withholding payers, IRS semiweekly depositors, IRS next-day deposits, actual paydays, and employer-specific liability thresholds still need payroll-system logic and company review.
New Jersey payroll calendars need more nuance than a simple quarterly list. The file separates recurring dates that can be calendared from activity-triggered obligations that belong in payroll operations.
The downloadable file contains 364 events. Calendar years 2026 through 2030 carry the main planning reminders, and early 2031 closeout dates are included because they belong to the 2030 payroll year.

The self-hosted .ics file can be used two ways. Importing is best when users want control. Subscribing from URL is best when users want a feed-style calendar and do not need to edit each event.
Creating a separate New Jersey payroll calendar gives users a clean exit path. They can test the calendar without mixing 364 payroll events into their primary personal or company calendar.
Short answers for users before they import a payroll calendar into a personal, team, or company Google Calendar account.
No. Importing the .ics file creates Google Calendar events from the file. If TimeTrex publishes an updated New Jersey file later, download the newer file and import it into a new calendar or replace the old New Jersey payroll calendar.
NJDOL says NJ-927 and WR-30 employer-account reports are due by the 30th day after the quarter closes even when that date falls on a weekend or holiday. New Jersey withholding instructions separately use next-business-day adjustment for NJ-927 withholding. The file includes both reminders so teams see the stricter planning date and the adjusted withholding date.
Use a computer browser for setup. Google Calendar new-calendar creation and .ics file imports are handled through the browser settings workflow. After setup, the calendar can appear in the Google Calendar app if the account syncs there.
Some January and February 2031 deadlines belong to the 2030 payroll year, such as Q4 2030 reporting and 2030 year-end form obligations. Those trailing dates are included so the 2030 payroll year closes cleanly.
No fixed calendar can know every employer's payday pattern or tax liability. The file includes rule notes about weekly, semiweekly, and next-day rules, but employer-specific deposit timing should be handled inside payroll operations.
No. Use the calendar as a planning aid. Confirm the dates that apply to your company with your payroll provider, tax advisor, legal counsel, and the latest agency guidance.
The calendar section links to the self-hosted TimeTrex file, Google Calendar setup help, and the official payroll, tax, unemployment, wage-payment, wage-hour, state holiday, federal payroll, and banking references used for the calendar layers.
