2023 Nebraska S Corporation Income Tax Return
Instructions

What’s New
Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTET) (LB 754). A partnership or S corporation may elect to be
subject to Nebraska income tax for tax years beginning on and after January 1, 2018. The partners
and shareholders of an electing entity will receive a refundable credit for their share of the PTETs
paid by the electing entity.
For tax years beginning on and after January 1, 2024, an electing S corporation is required to make
estimated payments in the same manner as a C corporation.
				 Nebraska Employer Tax Credit for Employing Convicted Felons (LB 917). Employers may
receive a nonrefundable credit for wages paid to an employee convicted of a felony. The credit
is equal to 10% of the wages paid to the employee during the taxable year. The credit is limited
to $20,000 for each eligible employee and applies to the wages paid during the first 12 months of
employment. The employer must file an application with the Nebraska Department of Revenue
(DOR) to receive the credit.		

Important Information for All Filers
Purpose. The instructions in this booklet provide guidance in completing the most common
Nebraska S corporation return of income forms and schedules. This booklet is intended to be useful
to the greatest number of taxpayers. Nothing in these instructions supersedes, alters, or otherwise
changes any provisions of the Nebraska tax code, regulations, rulings, or court decisions.
We encourage the preparer of any Nebraska S Corporation Income Tax Return, Form 1120‑SN, to
review applicable Nebraska law regarding any issue that may have a material effect on this return.
Nebraska law and other useful information may be found at revenue.nebraska.gov.
Enter All Amounts as Whole Dollars. Do not include cents on the return or schedules. Do not
change the pre-printed zeros in the cents column of the Form 1120-SN or schedules. Round any
amount from 50 cents to 99 cents to the next higher dollar. Round any amount less than 50 cents
to the next lower dollar.
Penalties and Interest. Either or both may be imposed under the following conditions:
											u	Failing to file a return and pay the tax due on or before the due date;
											u	Failing to pay the tax due on or before the due date;
											u	Failing to file an amended Nebraska income tax return to report changes made to your
federal return;
											u	Preparing or filing a fraudulent income tax return; or
											u	Understating income on an income tax return.
Filing a false or fraudulent Nebraska return is subject to penalty, even if the amounts reported
are taken from your federal return. Unpaid tax is subject to interest at the statutory rate of 5%
from the original due date to the date the tax is paid. See Revenue Ruling 99-22-1 for applicable
interest rates.
Reporting Changes or Corrections. If information on a Nebraska S corporation return previously
filed is incorrect, an Amended Nebraska S Corporation Income Tax Return, Form 1120-XSN
must be filed. A Form 1120-XSN cannot be e-filed. When filing an amended return, remember:
											u Changes made by the IRS or another state must be reported to DOR within 60 days;
											u Please be sure to use the correct form for the tax year you are amending;
											u You must attach a copy of the related federal or other state amended return and all related
schedules or other documentation to explain the changes shown on the amended Nebraska
return; and
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 u When an amended return reflects a reduction in tax due because Nebraska source income
for its nonresident individual shareholders is reduced, the S corporation will not receive
a refund. Individual shareholders may file a claim for refund resulting from the reduced
Nebraska source income.

Nebraska Extension of Time. An extension to file may only be obtained by:
											u	Attaching a copy of a timely-filed Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File
Certain Business Income Tax, Information, and Other Returns, Federal Form 7004, to the
Nebraska return when filed;
											u Attaching a schedule to the Nebraska return listing the federal confirmation number and
providing an explanation that the electronic request for automatic federal extension was not
denied; or
											u Filing a Application for Extension of Time to File Nebraska Corporation, Fiduciary, or
Partnership Return, Form 7004N, on or before the due date of the return, when you need
to make a tentative Nebraska payment or when a federal extension is not being requested.
When a federal extension of time has been granted, and additional time is necessary to file
the Nebraska return, the Nebraska Form 7004N must be filed on or before the date the federal
extension expires. Remember to attach proof of the federal extension to the Form 7004N.
Failure to attach the applicable extension document may result in a late filing penalty. An extension
of time only extends the date to file the return. It does not extend the due date to pay the tax.
Any tax not paid by the original due date is subject to interest. By timely requesting an extension
of time to file your federal return using the Federal Form 7004, you are granted an automatic
Nebraska extension for the same number of months granted by the IRS. When a federal extension
of time has been granted and additional time is necessary to file the Nebraska return, the Nebraska
Form 7004N must be filed on or before the date the federal extension expires. An extension of
time cannot exceed a total of seven months after the original due date of the return.
Accounting Methods. The accounting method used for federal income tax purposes must be used
for Nebraska income tax purposes. A taxpayer may not change the accounting method used to
report income in prior years unless the change is approved by the IRS. A copy of this approval
must accompany the first return that shows the change in the method of accounting.
Federal Return. A copy of the federal return and supporting schedules, as filed with the IRS,
must be attached to this return.
Estimated Income Tax Payments. Estimated income tax payments must be made by every S
corporation that elected to be subject to Nebraska income tax, if the Nebraska income tax liability
can reasonably be expected to exceed allowable credits by $400 or more. The requirement to make
estimated payments applies to tax years beginning on and after January 1, 2024. For additional
information see the 2024 Nebraska Corporation Estimated Income Tax Payment Voucher Booklet.
Underpayment of Estimated Income Tax Penalty. An S corporation may owe a penalty if the
amount of tax due, after allowable credits, is $400 or more.

Nonresident
Shareholders

S corporations that did not elect to be subject to Nebraska income tax for 2023, must remit Nebraska
income tax withholding for each nonresident individual shareholder who does not complete a
Nebraska Nonresident Income Tax Agreement, Form 12N. For the purposes of Form 12N and the
income tax withholding requirements, an individual includes a nonresident grantor of a grantor trust.
Nonresident shareholders who sign the Form 12N agree to file a Nebraska income tax return and
pay all taxes due directly to DOR. This relieves the S corporation from the obligation to remit
income tax withholding on the shareholder’s behalf. All signed and completed Forms 12N must
be attached to the Form 1120-SN.
If a Form 12N is not signed and completed for a nonresident individual shareholder, the amount
to be paid is 6.64% of the nonresident shareholder’s share of S corporation taxable income from
Nebraska sources.
The S corporation reports the amount of income tax remitted on behalf of each nonresident
shareholder on the Nebraska Shareholder’s Share of Nebraska Income, Deductions, Modifications,
and Credits – Schedule K-1N. Attach each Nebraska Schedule K-1N to the S corporation return. Do
not remit income tax for corporations, estates, or trusts (except grantor trusts) that are shareholders.
Nebraska law does not require payment of income tax by an S corporation on behalf of these
entities. Instead, these entities are required to file a Nebraska return.
A nonresident individual shareholder may claim the amount of income tax remitted by the
S corporation as a credit against his or her Nebraska income tax liability by attaching a copy of
the Nebraska Schedule K-1N to the Nebraska Individual Income Tax Return, Form 1040N.

revenue.nebraska.gov

Nonresident individual shareholders do not have to file a Nebraska individual income tax
return if:
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 u	Their only connection with the state is conducting business activities of the S corporation; and
	

1. The S corporation has remitted income tax from all the Nebraska income attributable 		
to the nonresident’s share of the S corporation’s income; or
2. The S corporation remitted the pass-through entity tax (PTET) and the credit for the 		
nonresident individual shareholder’s share of the PTET remitted would fully satisfy 	
their Nebraska income tax liability.

In lieu of filing a Nebraska Individual Income Tax Return, a nonresident shareholder may elect
to allow the full amount of income tax withholding or the refundable PTET credit to be retained
by the state. Any nonresident may still file a Form 1040N, and claim a refund if one is due. A
nonresident shareholder is not relieved of its responsibility to file a Form 1040N if the S corporation
has not remitted income tax withholding or PTET attributable to the nonresident’s share of the S
corporation’s income.
No Composite Filing. DOR does not allow filing “composite” income tax returns. S corporations
with nonresident shareholders must either:
											u	Obtain a signed and completed Form 12N from the nonresident individual shareholder;	
											u Remit Nebraska income tax withholding on the nonresident shareholder’s share of Nebraska
income with Form 1120‑SN; or
											u Make the PTET election and remit the PTET due.
Nonresident Shareholder – No Income Tax Withholding Requirement. The S corporation is
not required to remit income tax for any nonresident individual shareholder who completes and
submits a Form 12N to the S corporation, before the original filing of the Form 1120-SN. The S
corporation is also not required to remit income tax for any nonresident individual if it makes the
PTET election. For purposes of the Form 12N, an individual includes a nonresident grantor of a
grantor trust. A completed Form 12N must:
											u Include all the requested information; and
											u Be signed and dated by the shareholder or the shareholder’s authorized representative (attach
a copy of Power of Attorney, Form 33).
Any nonresident shareholder who files Form 12N must file a Form 1040N. Failing to file the
required Form 1040N may result in:
											u	
An assessment issued to the nonresident individual shareholder based on the information
available to DOR; or
											u	
The loss, by the nonresident individual shareholder, of any current year Nebraska net operating
or capital loss distributed from the S corporation. A Nebraska net operating or capital loss
carryforward will not be allowed to offset Nebraska income until the Nebraska return for
the loss year has been filed.
Shareholder’s Return. Both resident and nonresident shareholders are subject to the Nebraska
income tax on their share of the S corporation income derived from sources within Nebraska.
Reporting Nebraska Source Income to Shareholders. An S corporation must provide all
shareholders with a Nebraska Schedule K-1N. See the Nebraska Schedule K-1N instructions for
additional information.
The income, loss, and deduction amounts reported on the Nebraska Schedule K-1N must be
calculated in the same manner as income is distributed.
When S corporations issue a Nebraska Schedule K-1N to shareholders, they must complete all
distribution schedules such as Nebraska Employment and Investment Growth Act Credit Computation,
Form 775N, Nebraska Advantage Act Incentive Computation, Form 312N, Nebraska Schedule
PTET - Shareholders Share of Nebraska Pass-Through Entity Tax, Form 1120-SN, and ImagiNE
Nebraska Act Incentive Computation, Form 1107N, in addition to reporting the distributed credits
to the shareholders in Part C of the Schedule K-1N.

Income Tax Withholding on Contractors. Construction contractors are required to withhold income
tax at 5% on any payment or payments exceeding $600 made to their construction subcontractors
that are not registered on the Nebraska Department of Labor's Contractor Registration Database. An
S corporation, against whom the contractor income tax withholding was applied, must distribute
the amount withheld to its shareholders if it does not make the PTET election. The total amount of
income tax withheld from the S corporation must be distributed in the same manner as income. An
S corporation that made the PTET election, may claim a credit for the withholding. For additional
information see “Construction Contractors” section.

Credits
Distributable to
Shareholders

Community Development Assistance Act (CDAA) Credit. The Nebraska CDAA credit is
allowable for contributions to approved projects of community betterment organizations recognized
by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED). Attach the 2023 Nebraska
Community Development Assistance Act Credit Computation, Form CDN to the Form 1120SN. Each shareholder is allowed a share of the credit calculated by using the same method used
to report income received from the S corporation. S corporations do not need to attach a copy
of the Form 1099NTC. DOR will receive the Form 1099NTC information directly from DED.
An S corporation that made the PTET election cannot use this credit to offset its PTET liability.
More detailed information on this credit can be obtained by contacting:

Beginning Farmer Credit. This credit is available to owners of agricultural assets, when the
agricultural assets are rented to qualifying beginning farmers or livestock producers. Each
shareholder eligible for the credit will receive a copy of the Statement of Nebraska Tax Credit,
Form 1099 BFC, from the Nebraska Department of Agriculture. Each shareholder is allowed a
share of the credit calculated by using the same method used to report income received from the
S corporation. The Form 1099 BFC does not need to be filed with the shareholder’s individual
income tax return. S corporations do not need to attach a copy of the Form 1099 BFC. DOR will
receive the Form 1099 BFC information directly from the Nebraska Department of Agriculture.
For more details regarding this credit, contact:
Nebraska Department of Agriculture
PO Box 94947
Lincoln, NE 68509-4947
402-471-4876
nextgen.nebraska.gov
Form 3800N Credits. Nebraska provides several tax incentive credits that may be earned by
entities conducting business in this state.
S corporations must file tax incentive credit distribution forms including Forms 775N, 312N, Form
1107N, Form 544N, and 3800N Worksheet HBTC before credits can be allowed to individual
shareholders. Attach a distribution schedule for Form 775N, Schedule II, Form 312N, Schedule II,
Form 1107N, Form 544N, or 3800N Worksheet HBTC (that lists each shareholder, the shareholder’s
tax ID number, the income percentage, and each shareholder’s distributed credits). The total amount
distributed by the S corporation must be distributed in the same proportion as ordinary income.

Use Tax							An S corporation may be subject to use tax. An S corporation owes use tax when the proper sales
tax has not been paid on purchases delivered into Nebraska. This often occurs when purchases are
made from out-of-state, mail order, or Internet sellers. Use tax is also due when items purchased
for resale are withdrawn from inventory for business or personal use.

revenue.nebraska.gov

Example 1.
The S corporation purchased a computer from a seller in South Dakota over the Internet for
$1,570 plus $30 shipping and handling charges. Both charges are taxable. The computer is
shipped to the S corporation in Scottsbluff, Nebraska and no tax is charged or collected by
the seller. The state tax is $88 ($1,600 X 5.5%) and the local tax is $24 ($1,600 X 1.5%).
The total use tax owed is $112 ($88 + $24 = $112).
Example 2.
A repair shop in Scottsbluff, Nebraska provides motor vehicle repair service. The repair shop
also owns a tow truck used for towing customer motor vehicles needing repair. The shop
purchases oil and oil filters, tax exempt, for resale using the Nebraska Resale or Exempt Sale
Certificate, Form 13. When oil and oil filters are removed from sales tax-exempt inventory
and used to change the oil in the business-owned tow truck, state and local use tax is due
on the cost of the oil and oil filters.
										For additional information, see the Nebraska Use Tax Information Guide.

Nebraska Schedule I Instructions
Apportionment for Multistate Business
Purpose. The Nebraska Schedule I is used to determine the amount of Nebraska source income
(Form 1120-SN, line 5, Income Reported to Nebraska) received by an S corporation deriving
income from both within and without Nebraska.
Nebraska source income is determined by apportioning the S corporation income using a single,
sales-only factor. Apportionment refers to the division of income between states by the use of a
formula containing one or more apportionment factors.
Sales Factor. The sales factor is a fraction. The numerator is the total sales of the S corporation in
Nebraska during the taxable year. The denominator is the total sales of the S corporation everywhere
during the taxable year. Total sales includes gross sales of real and tangible personal property less
returns and allowances, and all other items of gross receipts, except income for the discharge of
indebtedness, amounts received from hedging transactions involving intangible assets, and net
gains from marketable securities held for investment. The sales factor on this schedule is rounded
to six decimal places. It is entered as a percentage.
For tax years beginning January 1, 2014 or after, a corporation may no longer use the costs of
performance method of apportioning sales other than sales of tangible personal property except
for a corporation operating as a communications company. For additional information, see the
Nebraska Apportionment Factor – Sales or Gross Receipts section.
An S corporation using an alternative method of apportionment must attach a copy of the Tax
Commissioner’s prior written approval of the alternative method. The alternative apportionment
factor computation must be included. Enter the factor on line 2, Nebraska Schedule I.
Note: Approval of an alternative method of apportionment is rare.
If the S corporation is a partner in a partnership or joint venture, see Business Entity Regulation 24315, Sales Factor; Business Entities As Owners in a Partnership or Joint Venture.
If an S corporation is a member of a unitary group which includes a C corporation, the apportionment
factor for the S corporation will be the apportionment factor as determined for the unitary group.
This factor will be applied to the income of the S corporation. Separate returns must be filed for
the S corporation and the C corporation.
An S corporation that operates a trucking business and has income from both within and without
this state, must compute its sales factor in accordance with Business Income Tax Regulation
24‑343, Special Apportionment Rules; All Tax Years; Trucking Companies.
The method of computing the sales factor must be consistent with prior tax years and with the
S corporation’s filings in other states. If the S corporation modifies the basis for including or
excluding gross receipts in the sales factor used in returns for prior years, the 2023 return must
disclose the nature and extent of the modification.
If the S corporation files returns with other states that are not uniform in the inclusion or exclusion
of gross receipts, the Form 1120-SN filed with DOR must disclose the nature and extent of the
variance.

Computation of Nebraska Source Income —
You must complete lines 4-15 prior to completing lines 1-3.
Line 1								 Nebraska Adjusted Income. Enter the amount from line 4 of Form 1120-SN.
Line 2								Nebraska Apportionment Factor. Enter the amount from line 15, Nebraska Schedule I,
Form 1120‑SN.
