Source: 2026 Nebraska Circular EN, Percentage Method Table 7 (Annual) + the 'Withholding Allowance Table Effective January 1, 2026' from the official Circular EN instructions, both read verbatim from revenue.nebraska.gov PDFs. Withholding allowance = $2,440/year per allowance (Daily $9.38, Quarterly $610.00 x 4 = $2,440), subtracted before the table. Table 7 six-tier brackets (2.26/3.22/4.21/4.35/4.48/4.60%) cross-foot exactly on both schedules ($74.13, $560.35, $972.93, $1,343.55, $2,922.30 for single). The table's 0% band ($3,430 single / $8,190 married) plus the allowance approximate the Nebraska deduction. This encodes Nebraska's OFFICIAL withholding for the standard case: single = 1 personal allowance ($2,440), married = 2 ($4,880), +1 per dependent. Head-of-household and married-filing-separate use the SINGLE schedule (Circular EN groups 'Single - Including Head of Household'). Supplemental wages 5.0% per NE guidance; supplementalRate set to top rate 0.046.
