Nebraska Nonprofit Tax Exemption
In many states, nonprofit organizations must apply with the state tax authority in order to
become exempt from corporate income and franchise taxes. Receiving an IRS determination
letter does not mean nonprofits are automatically exempt from state taxes. Instead,
nonprofits must apply for state tax exemption separately from applying for a 501(c) tax
exemption with the IRS.
The landscape of state tax exemption is complicated, as each state has different taxes and
exemption requirements. Whether your nonprofit operates in one or multiple states, obtaining
exemptions from income, franchise, sales, and use taxes can consume a great deal of a
nonprofit’s staff time and financial resources.
Harbor Compliance can help your nonprofit become tax exempt in Nebraska and
other states as needed. A nonprofit specialist will work with you throughout the entire
process and prepare your applications. Let us simplify your state filings so you can remain
focused on your mission.

processed. Any missing information will result in a delay or outright rejection. Our
specialists will prepare your tax exemption application to the state’s exacting standards,
allowing your application to be approved quickly.
Unrelated Business Income (UBI)
In theory, nonprofits raise money that is used exclusively to further their charitable
purpose, as stated in purpose statement. In practice, organizations sometimes receive
unrelated business income (UBI) as part of their daily operations. In many states, your
organization may be liable for taxes on this UBI (or the entire amount of your income), and
submit related filings. If you have accounting questions, about UBI or otherwise, contact
your accounting professional for assistance.
