How to File a Nebraska Tax Amendment
If you need to change or amend an accepted Nebraska state Income Tax Return for the 2024 or previous Tax Year you need to complete Form 1040XN. Form 1040XN is a Form used for the Tax Amendment. You can prepare a Nebraska Tax Amendment Form for the current Tax Year (2024) on eFile.com, however you can not file it electronically, you must mail it in. For all previous NE Tax Years complete form 1040XN, see below by Tax Year. In comparison, the IRS requires a different Form - Form 1040X - to amend an IRS return (do not use Form 1040 for an IRS Amendment).
The IRS might send you a notification to change an error on your Return, or you might have discovered an error. If you or the IRS amended or changed one of your IRS Tax Return(s), the IRS will report this to the Nebraska Tax Agency, thus you should file a Nebraska Tax Amendment within one year.
