INSTRUCTIONS
PURPOSE. Form W-4NA is to be used by payers of nonresident individuals to compute Nebraska income tax to be withheld from
payments for personal services in Nebraska. Personal services include, but are not limited to, payments to nonresident entertainers,
individual athletes, performers, consultants, public speakers, corporate board directors, or other professional services.
WHO MUST WITHHOLD. Any person paying a nonresident for services substantially performed in Nebraska may be required to
withhold Nebraska income tax. A person must withhold if the payee is not an employee; the payment is not subject to federal withholding;
and the payer is either (1) maintaining an office or transacting business within Nebraska and making a payment or payments of more than
$600, or (2) making a payment or payments in excess of $5,000.
The payer and the nonresident must complete Form W-4NA together. Nonresident individuals can use Form W-4NA to report their
business expenses and payments in performing personal services in Nebraska. If there are other payees receiving payments for services
performed in Nebraska as nonresident individuals, each must complete a separate Form W-4NA.
A payer or withholding agent who pays a nonresident alien individual for providing personal services and who has withheld federal tax
on Federal Form 1042-S, Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding, must also withhold state tax using Nebraska
Form W-4NA.
A nonresident alien whose country has a tax treaty with the U.S. may not be subject to nonresident withholding. The payer is to obtain
a written statement from the payee certifying the existence of a treaty exempting U.S. income earned by the alien from federal or state
income tax.
Payments to a corporation are subject to withholding requirements if 80% or more of the voting stock of the corporation is held by the
shareholders who are performing personal services. Payments to a partnership or LLC are subject to withholding requirements if 80%
or more of the capital interest or profits interest of the partnership or LLC is held by the partners or members who are performing personal
services. See line 11 instructions.
The completed Form W-4NA is a part of the payer’s records and must be kept with other withholding tax records. Federal
Forms 1099-MISC or 1042-S will be issued by the payer based on the information on the completed Form W-4NA. The Forms
1099-MISC, or 1042-S state copies, will be included with the Form W -3N, Nebraska Reconciliation of Income Tax Withheld, filed with
the department.
PENALTIES. A penalty may be imposed, in addition to other penalties provided by law, on a nonresident individual for giving false
information to a payer regarding payments subject to withholding, if the information could result in the amount withheld totaling less
than 75% of the income tax liability on such payments. A penalty may also be imposed on any payer who either knowingly uses false
information or who maintains records which show the information is false.
The penalties will equal: (a) the amount of tax evaded, not collected, or not accounted for and paid over; and (b) an additional amount up
to $1,000.
TAXPAYER ASSISTANCE. Questions can be directed to the Nebraska Department of Revenue, PO Box 98915, Lincoln, Nebraska
68509-8915. Call (800) 742-7474 in Nebraska and Iowa, or (402) 471-5729.
PAYER INSTRUCTIONS

identification number of the nonresident individual, corporation, partnership, or LLC.
LINE 2. Enter the total amount of the payment for personal services. Include any amounts paid to the service provider as reimbursement
for expenses.

PAYEE INSTRUCTIONS
LINE 3. Ordinary and necessary business expenses reasonably related to Nebraska income. Expenses listed on
this schedule are amounts paid for travel, lodging, meals and other ordinary and necessary expenses spent in earning your income

Nebraska income. Payments listed are amounts paid to agents, or to others such as a percentage to agents or payments made to
others assisting in the performance. This does not include payments to partners, shareholders, or members.
NOTE: If persons providing personal services also hire others to assist them, they may have a withholding responsibility on
the payments made to such persons. If the persons are hired as employees, then Nebraska’s regular withholding rules apply.
If the persons are not employees and are nonresidents of Nebraska, then the person paying them must follow the guidelines in
Form W-4NA. They should contact the department to receive a Withholding Certificate to withhold Nebraska tax.
LINE 11. If the payment was payable to a nonresident corporation, partnership, or LLC, the Nebraska income tax withheld,
computed on line 9 or line 10, must be distributed to the appropriate nonresident shareholders, partners, or members.
The payee is to use line 11 to distribute the amount withheld to the appropriate nonresident shareholders, partners, or members.
Federal Forms 1099-MISC or 1042-S will be issued by the payer to each shareholder, partner, or member and must be attached to
their individual income tax return to receive proper credit.
SIGNATURES. The nonresident individual, corporate officer, partner, or member is to sign this certificate, and include his or her
telephone number. If the payee authorizes another person to sign, there must be a power of attorney on file with the department or attached
to this certificate. Any person paid to prepare Form W-4NA must also sign the certificate.
