How does NebFile differ from Federal/State online filing?
Federal/State online filing is when you access commercially written software that is on the software company’s Internet server, and use it to enter your federal and state tax returns. NebFile is on a state-owned Internet server and uses software produced by the state. There is typically a fee charged for using the Federal/State commercially written software, whereas there is no cost for using NebFile. Commercially written Federal/State e-file software is designed to assist you to prepare your return, and is capable of preparing more complicated returns, including non-resident and partial year resident returns. NebFile is designed to handle basic resident returns, and requires you to have already completed your federal return in a separate process.
