Nebraska Tax Overview for Estimated Payments

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.
