Nebraska taxes at a glance (2026)

Nebraska has a graduated income tax with a standard deduction of $8,850 (single) / $17,700 (married). Nebraska has a GRADUATED individual income tax with 3 brackets for tax year 2026 (down from 4). Under LB 754 (2023, Gov. Pillen) the top brackets were consolidated and the top marginal rate cut from 5.20% (2025) to 4.55% (2026), scheduled to drop to 3.99% in 2027. Lower rates 2.46% and 3.51% unchanged. Bracket dollar thresholds are inflation-indexed annually (statute 77-2715.03): 2026 single thresholds $4,130 and $24,760. By statute the married-filing-jointly brackets are exactly DOUBLE the single brackets, so MFJ thresholds are $8,260 and $49,520. Standard deduction is state-specific (NOT the federal amount) and inflation-indexed: $8,850 single / $17,700 MFJ for 2026 per Tax Foundation (2025 was ~$8,600/$17,200). Nebraska gives a personal exemption CREDIT (~$176 per exemption for 2026) rather than a deduction. Social Security benefits are 100% exempt beginning tax year 2024. Military retirement income is fully exempt. NO local or city income taxes in Nebraska.
