NE Tax Extension

Extension Form Nebraska Extension Instructions How to File
Form 4868N

A Nebraska taxpayer who needs more time to file a NE income tax return and/or needs to make a tax payment must file a Form 4868N, Nebraska Application for Automatic Extension of Time, to gain an automatic 6-month extension. If the NE return was efiled through a paid tax preparer, then the requirement to file this form is waived. Married couples who are filing separately and both want an extension of time to file NE returns must complete separate NE tax extensions. The Nebraska Department of Revenue will not grant blanket extensions.

You do not need to file Form 4868N if you have already been granted a federal extension of time to file. The filing date for Form 1040N will automatically be extended for the same period as the federal extension. If you are not efiling your NE return through a paid tax preparer and choose to file the return, you must:

Send a copy of the Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File, Federal Form 4868; OR
Attach an explanation that you received an automatic federal extension electronically. In addition, include your federal confirmation number.
You also do not need to file Form 4868N if you are expecting a NE state tax refund.

An extension of time to file your NE state return does not extend the time to pay any taxes owed. Therefore, interest is due from the original tax return deadline to the date the tax is paid. A tentative tax payment will stop interest from accruing on the paid amount. This amount should be claimed as a credit on line 29, estimated payments of Form 1040N, when you file the return.

You will be notified if the requested NE extension is denied. All approved extension requests will be granted the automatic six-month filing extension beyond the original tax return deadline. Notification will only be sent when the Department of Revenue does not approve the the extension application.

NE Personal Property Tax:

All real property located within the state is taxable unless specifically exempted by statute. Personal property is taxed and valued based on the depreciated cost within reasonable class lives. This is determined by the legislature.

The state offers a homestead exemption for personal property owners. They must submit an Application or Certification of Status, Form 458, to their county tax assessor in order to receive the tax exemption.

Odd Tax Fact:

Energy drinks sold in grocery stores are usually subjected to sales tax, but it depends on their labels. If the drink has a “Supplement Facts” label, it is subject to tax as a dietary supplement. Drinks with the “Nutrition Facts” facts label are exempt from the sales tax and are considered food products.

All energy drinks sold through a vending machine are subject to tax, regardless of the label on the product.
