Nebraska 401k and retirement tax guide - 2026
How Nebraska taxes 401k contributions and retirement distributions
Nebraska retirement tax overview
Nebraska is phasing in a Social Security income exemption through 2025. Nebraska's income tax rates are being reduced which will benefit retirees on fixed incomes.
Nebraska's phased elimination of Social Security income taxes will significantly benefit Nebraska retirees once complete. Nebraska is also reducing its overall income tax rates which improves the retirement tax environment.
Federal 401k rules that apply in Nebraska
Regardless of Nebraska state tax treatment, federal rules govern 401k contribution limits. In 2026 the 401k contribution limit is $23,500 per year ($31,000 if age 50 or older with catch-up contributions). Traditional 401k contributions reduce your federal taxable income dollar-for-dollar in the year contributed. You pay ordinary income tax when you withdraw in retirement. Withdrawals before age 59.5 are subject to a 10% federal penalty plus income taxes unless an exception applies.
