I was paid $750 from University of OK for speaking at a christian club on campus. I live in Texas and put the information in my federal tax return, but do I need to file state taxes for OK??

    Apparently not. OK says:

     

    Nonresident - Except as otherwise provided for in the Pass-Through Entity Act of 2019, every nonresident with Oklahoma source gross income of $1,000 or more is required to file an Oklahoma income tax return. A nonresident partner may elect to be included in a composite partnership return; see Rule 710:50-19-1. 

     

    Note: If you do not have an Oklahoma filing requirement but had Oklahoma tax withheld or made estimated tax payments, see the section “Not Required to File” on page 6 for further instructions.

    So, did you have any state tax withheld on this $750?

    I did not have any withholding. It was just a check for 750

    If that is the case, as @BillM223 mentions you do not need to file, since you are not owed a refund.

     

    You have no OK obligation. See: 2024 Oklahoma Individual Income Tax Forms and Instructions page 4.
