- If the employee is eligible for the lower withholding than required by Nebraska LB223, proceed to Step 8. If the employee claims SINGLE and claims 1 or fewer exemptions, proceed to Step 8. If the employee claims MARRIED and claims 2 or fewer exemptions, proceed to Step 8. Otherwise, calculate the annual tax amount as required by LB223 as follows:
a. Calculate the annual tax following Step 1 through 6 except use 1 exemption in Step 5 for SINGLE filers and use 2 exemptions in Step 5 for MARRIED filers.
b. Multiply the annual tax by one-half (0.50) to get the annual minimum tax.
c. If the annual minimum tax is greater than the annual tax based on exemptions claimed, then the annual tax amount is equal to the annual minimum tax. Otherwise, the annual tax amount is equal to the annual tax based on exemption claimed.
- Divide the annual Nebraska tax withholding by 26 to obtain the biweekly Nebraska tax withholding.
