Nebraska provides income tax withholding relief for employees working within and outside of the state temporarily due to COVID-19

The Nebraska Department of Revenue updated its frequently asked questions (FAQs) for COVID-19 to address the income tax withholding requirements that apply when employees are temporarily working from home from an alternate state.

The Department indicates that it will not require employers to change an employee's state as it was established prior to the COVID-19 emergency for Nebraska income tax withholding purposes provided the employees are telecommuting temporarily from a work location within or outside Nebraska due to the COVID-19 emergency. This special relief is available from the date the emergency was declared on March 13, 2020, and ending on January 1, 2021, unless the emergency is extended.
