Perhaps easier said than done.....
1) First, every scrap of your Federal income, Deductions & Credits must be filled in, and the entire Federal tax file error checked and correct.
2) then run thru your entire NE Q&A until done in there.
3) Only then, you must print out your (OK...save to PDF) your NE tax return. (Desktop software users can just use Forms Mode, but "Online" users would use the Print Center, under "Tax Tools" in the left-side menu).
4) Open the PDF and look for the NE Schedule I, line 27. Line 27 of the NE Sched I can either be 5% of the value of line 6b on the Federal 1040, or may be the entire value of line 6b of your Federal 1040....DEPENDING on what your NE income level is.....as described by the NE instructions for line 27 of the NE Sched I.

"Line 27: Social Security Income.
If line 5 of Form 1040N is $59,960 or less for a married, filing jointly return (MFJ), or $44,460 or less for all other filing statuses, enter the amount of Social Security income included in federal AGI.
If line 5 of Form 1040N exceeds $59,960 for MFJ or $44,460 for all other filing statuses, multiply the amount of Social Security income shown on line 6b, Federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR, page 1, by 5% and enter on line 27.
The amount claimed cannot exceed the amount shown on line 6b, Federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR, page 1. Paper filers must attach a copy of pages 1 and 2 of Federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR to your Nebraska return."

Only then will you know if TTX did it correctly. But note that it is 5% of the value of line 6b on the Federal 1040, not 5% of ALL your SS. (or all of line 6b of the Fed 1040 for lower income people)
