E-File Your Taxes
By Governor Dave Heineman

Dear Fellow Nebraskans:
By now, you should have received your 2009 tax information. I want to encourage Nebraskans to file their individual income taxes electronically this year.
Electronic filing, better known as e-filing, is convenient and secure. This option provides a speedy refund, reduces the risk of errors and offers confirmation that your return has been filed and received.
Fed/State e-filing allows taxpayers to submit both their federal and state tax returns together. Taxpayers can go online, purchase software or visit a participating tax preparer to file their returns using the Fed/State e-file program. Some software providers allow free federal e-filing, but may charge a fee for state e-filing. Visit http://www.irs.gov/ for more information.
NebFile allows taxpayers to file their Nebraska individual income tax return for free using the Nebraska Department of Revenue’s Web site http://www.revenue.ne.gov/.
Every year, more Nebraskans are enjoying the speed and convenience offered by e-filing. In 2009, the state received more than 634,500 e-filed income tax returns, a 6 percent increase from the previous year. More than 70 percent of all Nebraska individual income tax returns were e-filed last year.
Taxpayers who e-file and choose to have their refund deposited directly into their bank account typically receive their refund in seven to 10 business days.
As a leading state in e-file use, the Nebraska Department of Revenue has a new goal of having 75 percent of all state tax returns e-filed during 2010. Of the 120,000 state income tax returns filed so far this year, 118,900 have been e-filed.
Nebraska’s e-file successes are also due to the cooperation of Nebraska’s professional tax preparers, who have used it to file their clients’ returns, and to our citizens who have also embraced this technology.
The increase in e-filing has helped the Department of Revenue achieve greater efficiency by reducing their reliance on temporary workers at tax time. Seasonal employees are expected to total just 30, down from 150 a decade ago.
The ability to file and pay taxes online is one of the many ways our state is striving to provide services that make it easier for Nebraskans to interact with state government. E-filing is a quick and convenient way citizens can help us reduce costs.
