                                            Instructions
Purpose.  The purposes of the Nebraska Incentives Credit Computation, Form 3800N, are to: 
 •   Identify the incentive program for which each tax credit is claimed;  
 •   Identify the amount of tax credits used from each program; 
 •   Identify the specific project for which the tax credits were received; and 
 •   Distinguish between and apply refundable and nonrefundable incentive tax credits appropriately. 
Who Must File. Every taxpayer must complete the Form 3800N, to use any of the credits listed on lines 4 through 
19 of this form.
 Note: When claiming nonrefundable credits, the credits should be used in the order listed below:
      Renewable Energy Tax credit;
      Nebraska Advantage Rural Development Act credit; 
      Nebraska Advantage Research and Development Act credit;
 •   New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC);
      Nebraska Historic Tax Credit (NHTC);
      Nebraska Affordable Housing Tax Credit (AHTC);
      Employment and Investment Growth Act (LB 775) credit; 
      Nebraska Advantage Act (LB 312) credit; 
 •   ImagiNE Nebraska Act (LB 1107) credit; 
 •   Key Employer and Job Retention Act credit; and
 •   Urban Redevelopment Act (LB 544).
When and Where to File. The Form 3800N must be completed and attached to the income or financial institution tax 
return filed by an individual, corporation, partnership, S corporation, limited liability company, exempt cooperative, 
or fiduciary for which a credit is claimed.
Partners, shareholders,  members, patrons, or beneficiaries who are allowed any credits distributed by a partnership, 
S corporation, limited liability company, cooperative, or fiduciary should complete lines 1 through 15 and 21. A copy 
of the Nebraska Schedule K-1N filed by the partnership, S corporation, limited liability company, cooperative, or 
fiduciary must be attached to the taxpayer’s Form 3800N. These credits may be used to reduce the taxpayer’s income 
tax liability. Any NMTC, NHTC, or AHTC can also be used to reduce the taxpayer’s insurance premium tax liability 
or financial institutions franchise tax liability. Credits passed through to the taxpayer by a partnership, S corporation, 
limited liability company, cooperative, or fiduciary are not refundable. 
Records. All claimants must retain records for at least three years after filing the tax return claiming the credit. If 
the taxpayer will be carrying forward any unused credits, the records supporting the original credit must be kept for 
at least three years after filing the last return on which the credit carryforward is used.
                                           Specific Instructions

If you receive credits under more than one incentive program, or from more than one entity, complete a separate line 
for each type of credit received and attach a separate Schedule K-1N from each entity. These credits may be used to 
reduce the taxpayer’s income tax liability. Any NMTC, NHTC , or AHTC can also be used to reduce the taxpayer’s 
insurance premium tax liability or financial institutions franchise tax liability. Credits passed through to the taxpayer 
by a partnership, S corporation, limited liability company, cooperative, or fiduciary are not refundable. 
Credits received under the Nebraska Advantage Rural Development Act, the Nebraska Advantage Research and 
Development Act, the Renewable Energy Tax credit, the New Markets Tax Credit, ImagiNE Nebraska Act, Key 
Employer and Job Retention Act, and Urban Redevelopment Act will not have project numbers to enter in column C. 
For the Nebraska Historic Tax Credit, enter the NHTC certificate number in column C.
For the Affordable Housing Tax Credit, enter the AHTC qualified project number in column C. Taxpayers who 
receive allocated AHTCs from the project owner will receive AHTC information from the project owner. Taxpayers
