Credit Card is an option for making either final or estimated tax payments. This option is available for both electronic filers and for paper filers. A convenience fee is charged to the card you use. This fee is paid to OPC and will appear on your credit card statement separately from the tax payment. You will be told what the fee is during the transaction, and you have the option of canceling it. Secure credit card payments can be initiated over the Internet at www.officialpayments.com or via telephone at 1-800-2PAY-TAX. If you initiate your credit card payment by telephone, you will need to provide the Nebraska Jurisdiction Code, which is 3700. Follow instructions when asked to provide further information. At the completion of your transaction, you will be given a confirmation number for your records. (This confirmation number is different than any other confirmation number received for e-filing your return). Your transaction must be made on or before the due date to avoid penalty and interest.
Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW) is a payment option for remitting your balance due that is available only with the Federal/State e-file program, and is only for final payments, (not for making estimated payments). To make your tax payment by EFW, you will be asked to provide information about your financial institution, the amount you want to pay, and the date you want the payment made.
Debit Date is the date you request to have your funds withdrawn from your financial institution. This can be any date from the date the return is filed up to the due date. Penalty and interest will be assessed for late payments, so allow adequate time to have your payment debited. If you request an EFW and the requested debit date has already passed, your account will be debited on the next business day following receipt of your return by the department. Accounts will not be debited prior to the date you request.
Debit Amount is the amount that will be withdrawn from your financial institution and applied as payment towards your tax liability, including any applicable underpayment of estimated tax penalty. Your Debit Amount can be less than the amount you owe; however, if less, you will be billed for the difference, and if it is paid after the due date, penalty and interest will be applied.
If any portion of this information is missing or inaccurate, it will be automatically canceled, and a notice will be mailed to you with an explanation. If your federal return has been rejected by the IRS, you may need to adjust your Debit Date to a later date to allow additional time to complete the transaction.
You may cancel your EFW any time up to two (2) days prior to the Debit Date. To cancel, call the departments Taxpayer Assistance at 1-800-742-7474 (toll free in Nebraska and Iowa) or 1-402-471-5729.
A tax due amount of less than $2 need not be paid.
