Employee Obligations (Which Returns YOU Must File)

Nebraska has a Convenience of Employer rule that affects District of Columbia residents. If your employer is in Nebraska and you work remotely from District of Columbia, Nebraska may still tax your paycheck. File a nonresident Nebraska return plus your District of Columbia return and claim the Schedule U credit. Consider consulting a CPA.

Employer Obligations (What Your Employer Must Withhold & Remit)

Nebraska's Convenience of Employer rule may require withholding Nebraska tax even if the District of Columbia employee works 100% remotely. Register for withholding and unemployment. The COE rule is limited by the 7-day threshold — if the Minnesota employee never travels to Nebraska, no withholding is required. Unemployment is 1.25% on the first $9,000 of wages.

Remote Work Tax Risk — Convenience of Employer (COE) Rule

Nebraska has a full COE rule, but it was modified in 2025 — it only applies if you are physically present in Nebraska for more than 7 days in a year. If you work 100% remotely from District of Columbia and never travel to Nebraska, you are not affected.
