Nebraska Income Tax Overview

Nebraska has a three-bracket progressive income tax with a top rate of 4.55% on income above $24,760 for single filers. Nebraska has been steadily reducing its income tax rates as part of an ongoing reform plan, with the goal of reaching a flat 3.99% rate in coming years. The standard deduction of $8,850 for single filers is moderate. Nebraska has no local city income taxes on wages. Compared to neighboring Iowa (3.8% flat) and Missouri (2% flat), Nebraska's rates are higher, but the ongoing reforms are narrowing that gap. South Dakota and Wyoming to the west have no income tax, making them more attractive for border-area workers.
