DiscoverIf you have a tax liability to pay, you have the option of remitting your taxes by credit card. This payment option is available to you, regardless if you electronically file your tax return or file a paper return. Credit card payments are currently originated only by Official Payments Corporation (OPC), who provides this service to the IRS and most other states. OPC will charge you a convenience fee, based on the amount of tax being paid. All of the fee goes to OPC. Only the tax amount goes to the state. This fee is charged by OPC to cover operating costs associated with servicing thousands of transactions. The credit card payment transaction is strictly between you and OPC, and therefore, any disputes specific to the card payment are between you and OPC. For more details, see the Frequently Asked Questions below, or CLICK HERE to learn more about rules for these transactions on the OPC website.

After making your payment, if you decide to reverse the credit card transaction, remember that you will still owe tax. If unpaid by the due date (click here for a Calendar of Due Dates), you will be subject to penalty and interest. If you change your mind and still need to pay your Nebraska tax, mail a check or money order to the address shown on your return (under the signature block).
If you are paying individual income tax, you should write on your check or money order, the primary social security number used on your tax return, the tax year, and the Nebraska form you filed, (1040N or 1040NS).
