I have helped many families moving to Omaha. Contact me if you have any questions about the Omaha area or need help buying a home.
People who live in Omaha and surrounding suburbs within the Nebraska state lines pay are required to pay state income tax.
Things to Note About Nebraska’s State Income Tax
Unlike most states, Nebraska citizens are required to pay taxes on income earned inside the state of Nebraska and on income earned outside of the state.
Therefore, people who live in Omaha that work across the river in Iowa would still need to pay Nebraska state taxes. There are tax credits for taxes paid towards other states.
