Frequently asked questions
Do I pay Oklahoma income tax if I live in Texas?
Yes. Oklahoma taxes wages earned there by nonresidents. On $100,000 that's about $3,955.
Do I have to file taxes in both Texas and Oklahoma?
Usually you file only one state return (a nonresident return in Oklahoma), though some states still require a nonresident return to get a refund of any wrongly withheld tax.
Will I be taxed twice?
No. Texas has no income tax, so you pay only Oklahoma's nonresident tax: about $3,955 on $100,000.
