The State of Nebraska will automatically grant you a 6-month tax extension (5 months for partnerships/LLCs) if your business was approved for a federal tax extension (IRS Form 7004) and there are no outstanding tax payments due.

However, you will need to submit Nebraska Form 7004N (PDF) if your business needs to make a state tax payment or you were not approved for a federal tax extension. If you do not need to make a tax payment and have received an approval notification from FileLater, there’s nothing more to do.

Be sure to attach a copy of your IRS 7004 Tax Extension form to your state tax return when filing.

Filing a Nebraska tax extension will not provide you with additional time to pay any tax balance due, which must be paid by your original filing deadline, or interest and other payment penalties may apply.
