This article explains the Payment section of your Nebraska state return and the information that may be entered or updated. State withholding and payment information is generally transferred from your Federal return to help ensure accurate calculations.
Important: Your state withholdings and payments are automatically pulled from your Federal return. Please be sure that the state sections are completed on forms such as your W-2s and 1099s for accurate calculations.

State Refund Applied to Next Year's Taxes
If you are receiving a Nebraska state refund, you may choose to apply all or part of that refund toward your 2026 Nebraska income taxes instead of receiving the amount as a refund payment. Enter the amount you want applied to next year's tax liability.
Wildlife Conservation Fund Donation
You may voluntarily contribute $1 or more to Nebraska's Wildlife Conservation Fund. Your donation helps support wildlife conservation programs within the state. Enter the amount you would like to donate, and it will be deducted from your refund or added to your balance due, as applicable.
