To receive the Oklahoma Credit for Tax Paid to Another State, you must be a resident or part-year resident of Oklahoma who earned income from personal services performed in another state, and that other state taxed the income. You are required to report the full amount of such income on your Oklahoma state tax return (Form 511 or Form 511-NR for part-year residents).
Eligibility Requirements
- Resident Taxpayers: Must report full income on Form 511 and have paid income tax on that income to another state.
- Part-Year Residents: Must report income in the “Oklahoma Amount” column of Form 511-NR and have paid tax to another state on that income.
- Non-Eligible Cases: The credit is allowed only for qualifying net income tax legally imposed and paid to another state on income that is also taxed by Oklahoma. The credit is subject to the limitations and requirements provided in the Oklahoma Form 511-TX instructions.
How to Claim the Credit
- Complete Oklahoma Form 511-TX (Credit for Tax Paid to Another State).
- If you paid income tax to more than one state, complete a separate Form 511-TX for each state.
- Attach a complete copy of the other state's income tax return, including all supporting schedules and forms required by the Form 511-TX instructions. If the other state does not require a return to be filed (for example, Mississippi tax withheld from gambling winnings), attach Form W-2G or other applicable supporting documentation.
- Enter the allowable credit on the appropriate credit line of your Oklahoma individual income tax return (Form 511 or Form 511-NR, as applicable).
