MAY 26, 2009 DEADLINE TO FILE SALES AND WITHHOLDING TAX RETURNS

LINCOLN — On Friday, May 15, 2009, the Nebraska Department of Revenue (Department) will be issuing 4,202 letters to individuals and businesses who have failed to file their annual Nebraska and Local Sales and Use Tax Returns (Forms 10) and/or their annual Nebraska Withholding Tax Returns (Forms 941N). The sales and withholding tax returns were due January 25, 2009 and January 31, 2009, respectively. If the non-filed returns are not received by May 26, 2009, the Department will be issuing tax assessments, which include tax, penalty, and interest.

As a reminder, a completed return is required even if there have been no taxable sales or tax amounts withheld. There is no extension granted for the filing of the returns.

The Department also suggests that if you no longer need your sales or withholding tax permit, to consider cancelling your permit. If necessary, it can be reinstated in the future at no charge.

Please direct any questions to the Department at (800) 742-7474 (toll free in NE and IA), (402) 471‑5729, or www.revenue.ne.gov.
