Income Tax Withholding Certificate for Nonresident Individuals, used for nonresidents performing personal services substantially in Nebraska. Form 941N is the Nebraska Income Tax Withholding Return, used for employers to report withholding to Nebraska. The Nebraska Circular EN is the state’s guide on income tax withholding for wages, pensions and annuities, and gambling winnings. Most of the changes for these documents center around the addition of Federal Form 1099-NEC to forms required by Nebraska. The most notable changes to each document are detailed below.
