TaxEngine - Basic Instructions for Preparing and Filing Oklahoma Tax Returns
In preparing the state tax return, most information will carry from the federal return. The income and withholding will carry to the state from entries on the W-2. Be sure the state information has been entered on the W-2 input screen. Other income items will carry from the federal input according to the state designated.
If you have additional information to enter, click on the 'tax forms' button. Input for all the state forms is available.
Filing for a State Withholding
If you do not have sufficient gross income to require you to file a federal return, but you had Oklahoma tax withheld, made estimated tax payments, or qualify for Oklahoma earned income credit or Tornado Tax credit, check this box.
Part-Year Resident
You are considered a part-year resident of Oklahoma if, during 2007, you moved your permanent home into or out of Oklahoma. You must pay Oklahoma income tax on income you earned, received or accrued while living in Oklahoma.
TaxEngine will automatically allocate the income based on the information entered on the federal return. Be sure to enter the state information on the federal W-2 input form.
Nonresident
If you are a resident of another state and worked in Oklahoma during 2007, you are required to file a Oklahoma income tax return and are required to pay Oklahoma income tax on salary wages and other employee compensation for work performed in Oklahoma.
If you are a Oklahoma resident but worked in another state, all of your income is subject to tax, no matter where it is earned, except income earned from out-of-state business activity.
