Rule 8:3-6 Answers

When you are taken to Tax Court and need to respond to a claim against you, you must file a formal written response called an answer. This answer has to follow the same format and rules as answers filed in regular civil court cases in New Jersey.

The rules for regular civil answers (found in Rule 4:5-3) require you to respond to each point made against you, stating whether you agree, disagree, or do not have enough information to respond. You can also include any defenses you want to raise in your answer.
