LOWER YOUR NEBRASKA STATE TAX BURDEN
EPS has secured special tax credits under the Nebraska’s Pregnancy Help Act to lower your Nebraska state tax burden.
Reach out to Tim Neal at (531) 239-3130 or email him at [email protected] to find out how you can prepare now to claim your credit.
The Nebraska Pregnancy Help Act (LB 937) provides nonrefundable tax credits for the tax year on or after Jan. 1, 2026, to taxpayers who make cash contributions to pregnancy help organizations in Nebraska that have been approved by the Nebraska Department of Revenue. This is a win-win — you can lower your state tax bill while supporting women, children, and families.
Taxpayers must notify the approved PHO (EPS is an approved organization) of their intended contribution and the amount to be claimed as a tax credit under the Act. EPS will submit a Nebraska Pregnancy Help Act Notification of Intended Tax Credit, Form 3152-IC to DOR.
Beginning January 1, 2026, the Forms 3152-IC will be processed in the order in which they are received until the annual limit is reached. For 2026, $1,000,000 is available for tax credits. DOR will notify EPS within 30 days of receipt of a Form 3152-IC if tax credits are available. The taxpayer must remit the contribution to EPS, after DOR has returned the verified Form 3152-IC to EPS, no later than 60 days after notifying EPS of your intended contribution.
If you fail to make the contribution within 60 days and/or contributes less than the intended tax credit amount, EPS must submit the Nebraska Pregnancy Help Act Notification Regarding Intended Contribution, Form 3152-X to DOR within 30 days. A taxpayer who fails to make the contribution in the required time will forfeit their tax credit reservation.

Important notes:
