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.

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.
