Federal/State Online E-file Software
Below are links to various websites where you can file your federal and state income tax returns. All of these will allow you to file your federal return. Some of these, however, require you to file your federal return, while others allow a state-only filing.
Personal software available on CD used for filing your federal and state returns can also be purchased at retail outlets. If you prefer to have your tax preparation software reside on your personal computer, be sure that the software supports Nebraska returns before you purchase it.
