LB 853 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Provide an income tax adjustment related to certain federal tax deductions

This bill adjusts Nebraska's income tax calculation to align with specific federal tax treatment. It modifies how taxpayers account for certain federal deductions, such as interest on U.S. government bonds or Nebraska municipal bonds, by either subtracting or adding these amounts to Nebraska taxable income. The changes directly affect Nebraska taxpayers who claim federal deductions that would otherwise be subject to state tax. Key provisions include subtracting federal-exempt interest/dividends from Nebraska taxable income and adjusting for state tax refunds included in federal income. The bill ensures Nebraska's tax code mirrors federal rules for these specific deductions.
