Why Work With Us?
Maximize Your Refund. Minimize Your Headaches.
At NJ Film Incentive, we make the New Jersey Film and Digital Media Tax Credit Program simple, seamless, and rewarding for production companies of all sizes. Our goal is to be your one-stop partner — from formation to final refund.
Here’s how we help you maximize your tax credit opportunity:
1. Start-to-Finish Service — Formation, Application, and More
We handle every critical step in the process so you can focus on your production:
• LLC Formation and Setup:
We create your New Jersey LLC, including registered agent services, EIN filing, and compliance with state requirements.
• NJ Film & Digital Media Tax Credit Application:
We prepare, submit, and manage your application from start to finish — ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and eligibility optimization.
• CPA Verification Support:
CPA attestation is required for your final tax credit award. We work with experienced film production CPAs who understand the intricacies of the NJ program. We coordinate the verification process or introduce you to trusted professionals who can issue the necessary reports without delay.
2. Maximize Your Refund — Not Leave Money on the Table
• Positioning Your Production for Maximum Benefit:
We strategically structure your production activities, expenses, and vendor selection to maximize your eligible costs — unlocking the highest possible tax credit.
• Vendor Eligibility:
We ensure all vendors used are properly registered to do business in New Jersey — a critical compliance point that can otherwise reduce your credit amount.
• Expense Optimization:
We review and advise on production expenditures to ensure the broadest eligibility under the state’s guidelines, minimizing potential disqualifications.
3. Access to Vetted NJ Vendors
Finding the right partners can be tough — but not with us.
• Curated Network:
We maintain a network of fully vetted, registered New Jersey vendors, from casting directors to G&E (grip & electric) companies, sound stages, equipment rentals, and more.
• Personalized Introductions:
Need a casting director, production accountant, or union crew? We don’t just hand you a list — we make warm introductions to trusted professionals who understand the NJ incentive requirements and the fast pace of production work.
• Local Spend Strategy:
Using our partners not only makes your production smoother — it also helps maximize your local spend, further increasing your refundable credit.
4. Strategic Advice Every Step of the Way
“More Than Paperwork — Strategic Production Support.”
We go beyond paperwork:
• Ongoing Compliance Guidance:
We advise you throughout production to ensure you stay compliant and meet all program obligations for certification and refund eligibility.
• Problem-Solving:
If issues arise — whether it’s a missed document, unexpected cost classification, or vendor registration — we jump in immediately to troubleshoot and resolve.
• Timely Follow-Up:
We stay on top of deadlines and communications with the NJEDA and other state agencies so you don’t have to.
5. Why It Matters
“Compliance is Critical — We Make It Easy.”
The New Jersey Film and Digital Media Tax Credit is an incredible opportunity — but the process is detailed, competitive, and filled with technical requirements. Missing small steps can delay or even forfeit a refund you worked hard to earn.
When you work with NJ Film Incentive, you’re not just checking boxes — you’re maximizing your return, minimizing risk, and ensuring a smoother, smarter production experience.
