Full state tax break for Guard pay

If you are a Nebraska National Guard member, you can exclude 100% of qualifying Guard pay from Nebraska income tax. The pay must be included in your federal adjusted gross income. For tax years 2025 and 2026, this covers pay in a 32 U.S.C. duty status, wages as a federal dual‑status technician with the Nebraska Guard, and state active duty pay. Starting with the 2027 tax year, it covers pay in a 10 U.S.C. or 32 U.S.C. duty status, dual‑status technician wages, and state active duty pay. Your Nebraska tax savings equal the excluded amount times your Nebraska tax rate.

Old income tax section removed

Nebraska removes an older state income tax section from law. The law deletes the prior text of that section. What it means for people depends on how other tax sections now handle those rules. Most filers do not need to take any action.
