‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ Projected to Cost Nebraska over $216 Million in Tax Revenue

Nebraska faces a $406 million income tax revenue shortfall through 2029 due to tax cuts in President Trump's bill, intensifying the state's existing budget deficit.

  • On Tuesday, the Nebraska Department of Revenue projected the One Big Beautiful Bill will cut state income tax revenues by $406 million through the 2028-29 fiscal year, linking losses to the federal reconciliation bill.
  • Because Nebraska conforms to federal tax code, expanded corporate deductions and credits reduce state revenue, with Nebraska Department of Revenue projecting $63 million lost in corporate income taxes for 2025-26.
  • Within the current biennial budget cycle, Nebraska faces roughly $216 million in losses, and fiscal year 2025-26 will cost more than $102.5 million in combined tax revenue losses.
  • Lawmakers now face cuts or tax increases to close a roughly $216 million shortfall next year, while Gov. Jim Pillen signals intent to cut Nebraska's budget by up to 10%.
  • A broader political constraint is Nebraska Legislature's opposition to tax increases while Democrats in the Nebraska Legislature warn recent tax cuts created a structural deficit; lawmakers closed a $396 million shortfall earlier this year and critics caution further cuts could harm state employees and services.
