Nebraska is pretty cut and dry and when it comes to shipping taxability. It looks like sellers will be charging tax on shipping, if the item they are shipping is taxable. This excludes the US Postal System and their postage. If the item you are shipping isn’t taxable, then the shipping isn’t taxable.
