About Nebraska business records

Nebraska LLCs report every two years, in odd-numbered years, while corporations file a biennial occupation tax report in even-numbered years. Online filings cost less than paper ones, for example $100 online versus $110 in office to form an LLC or corporation.

Filings in Nebraska go to the Nebraska Secretary of State, Business Services Division, which keeps the official record.

Domestic and foreign business and professional corporations file a biennial occupation tax report with the Secretary of State, due by March 1 of even-numbered years and delinquent after April 15.
