How Nebraska taxes your income in 2026

Nebraska's four brackets run from 2.46% to a top rate of 4.55% on taxable income above roughly $35,090 for single filers (the threshold is higher for joint filers). The cuts come from LB 754, which is stepping the top rate down each year toward 3.99% in 2027. Nebraska's standard deduction is $8,850 for single filers — about half the federal amount — with proportionally higher amounts for other statuses.

No local income taxes; property taxes are the pain point

Nebraska cities and counties levy no income taxes. Social Security benefits became 100% exempt starting in 2025 after a five-year phase-in. The tax Nebraska residents complain about most is property tax — among the highest in the Midwest — which funds schools and local government but doesn't touch your paycheck directly.
