Nebraska Income Tax Withholding

Income Tax Withholding Reminders for All Nebraska Employers

 

  • Circular EN. The Nebraska Department of Revenue is issuing a new Nebraska Circular EN for 2024. All tables within the Circular EN have changed, and should be used for wages, pensions and annuities, and gambling winnings paid on or after January 1, 2024. 
  • Form W-3N Due Date. State copies of 2023 Forms W-2, W-2G, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-R, and the Nebraska Reconciliation of Income Tax Withheld, Form W-3N, are due January 31, 2024.
  • E-file Requirement. Forms W-2, W-2G, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, and 1099-R for tax year 2023 must be e-filed when the employer has over 50 forms to report.
  • Special Income Tax Withholding Rate. The “special income tax withholding rate” remains 1.5%. Employers using the  wage table brackets may continue to use the shaded/nonshaded areas of the bracket tables to determine if special income tax withholding procedures apply.
  • Military Spouses. Spouses of active duty military servicemembers whose income is not subject to Nebraska tax may give a  Nebraska Nonresident Employee Certificate for Allocation of Income Tax Withholding, Form 9N, to their employers to exempt their wages from Nebraska income tax withholding.

Instead of mailing your 2023 forms, e-file them
