Such tax shall thereupon become immediately due and payable. In any proceedings in court brought to enforce payment of taxes made due and payable by virtue of the provisions of this section, such findings of the Tax Commissioner, whether made after notice to the taxpayer or not, shall be for all purposes prima facie evidence of the taxpayer's design.(2) A taxpayer who is not in default in making any income tax return or paying any income taxes assessed under the provisions of the Nebraska Revenue Act of 1967 may furnish to the Tax Commissioner, under regulations to be prescribed by the Tax Commissioner, security that he will duly make the return next thereafter required to be filed and pay the tax next thereafter required to be paid. The Tax Commissioner may approve and accept in like manner security for return and payment of taxes made due and payable by virtue of the provisions of this section.(3) If security is approved and accepted pursuant to the provisions of subsection (2) of this section and such further or other security with respect to the tax or taxes covered thereby is given as the Tax Commissioner shall from time to time find necessary and require, payment of such taxes shall not be enforced by any proceedings under the provisions of this section prior to the expiration of the time otherwise allowed for paying such taxes.(4) In the case of a bona fide resident of Nebraska about to depart from the state the Tax Commissioner may waive any or all of the requirements placed upon the taxpayer by the provisions of this section.
