Form 511 (2023): Oklahoma State Tax Resident Individual Income Tax Return

Form 511 is the official document used by Oklahoma (OK) residents to file their individual income tax return with the Oklahoma Tax Commission. It allows residents to report their taxable income for the previous year and calculate any taxes owed to the state.

A. Residents: Generally, all residents of Oklahoma, regardless of income level, are required to file Form 511.

B. Part-Year Residents: Individuals who lived in Oklahoma for part of the year may need to file Form 511-NR (Nonresident/Part-Year Individual Income Tax Return).

C. Exceptions: There are a few exceptions to filing requirements. For example, if you were a full-time student with minimal income, you may not be required to file. Always consult the Oklahoma Tax Commission website or a tax professional for specific guidance.
