Earned income credit in Nebraska

Varies

Does Nebraska Have an Earned Income Tax Credit?

Short answer: Yes: Nebraska offers the Nebraska Earned Income Credit, 10% of the federal EITC (refundable). Residents and part-year residents only (prorated for part-year); nonresidents cannot claim it.

Claim the federal EITC on Form 1040 (with Schedule EIC if you have qualifying children); state credits go on your state return.

Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
