Are Property Taxes Deductible in Nebraska?
Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Nebraska adds its own break: Refundable credit for community college property taxes paid (Form PTC); school tax credit now comes off your tax bill.
Also: School District Property Tax Relief Credit is applied directly to property tax statements (LB 34, 2024). Homestead: income-based homestead exemption for 65+, disabled, and veterans; full relief for single 65+ with income up to $37,000 (2026). Since 2024, Nebraska no longer refunds school district property taxes on income tax returns; that relief is on the tax bill.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
