On February 15, 2010 I called the State of New Jersey and asked this specific question. I was directed to reference a court case in 2000, Weintraub vs The Director. The State representative summarized the case by saying that cancellation of debt income, whether it be business or personal (such as credit card debt cancellation received on a 1099-C form) is NOT taxable for New Jersey state purposes. It is however, taxable at the federal level.
