Question

I live in Texas and won money at casino in Oklahoma, I've already entered the w2g required on my federal taxes, but do I owe state taxes in Oklahoma? If so, would I fill out a state return for Oklahoma?

Oklahoma, yes - you would file as a non-resident OK Form 511 NR.  Cruise, no - as you live in Texas and there is no state income tax.

On your OK Form 511 NR, you are allowed to deduct either your OK standard deduction or your Federal Itemized deductions.

When you entered your Oklahoma gambling winnings and all gambling losses in the federal sections of TurboTax, the gambling losses will transfer over to the Oklahoma return as part of your itemized deductions. There is no additional place to enter these losses in the OK return. There is no distinction for state of gambling loss.

You could still wind up owing some tax to Oklahoma even though you claim losses up to the extent of your gambling winnings. That's because OK computes a nonresident taxes based on their federal Adjusted Gross Income, then applies a percentage to the total tax based on the ratio of your income from OK to your total income.

    I cannot see the 511 NR form to check it until I pay and file? The gambling wins come over automatically. Would I leave the wins as on the federal if they were all won in Oklahoma? I see where you said it would transfer over but I am assuming you will still pay taxes on the wins and no credit for the loss??

    In 2018, only after my TAX PREPARER  OF 5 YEARS had completed my FEDERAL AND STATE RETURNS BOTH... & I had paid ALL TAXES MY PREPARER DOCUMENTS SHOWED OWED.

     

    Months later.... after OKLAHOMA received their STATE TAX from me PAID IN FULL... 

       as documents of TAX PREOARER SHOWED OWED.

     

    OKLAHOMA SENT ME A NOTICE.

      Oklahoma wanted more money.

    MY OKLAHOMA TAX WAS SOLELY CASINO WINS. 

     

    I PHONED OKLAHOMA TAX COMMISSION. I asked DID YOU RECEIVE MY PAYMENT FOR MY FEDERAL TAXES?

      Rep said "Yes."

    I said than your agency sent me in error A NOTICE OF OWING OKLAHOMA MORE TAX. 

      Rep paused so long I had to ask "Are you still on phone?" 

    Rep repiled "I'm trying to see why we would send you such a notice. You paid your tax." Than asked me to hold.

     

    Came back. Rep tells me OKLAHOMA WANTED ME TO PAY THEM AT THE TIME I WON THE CASINO WIN, IN THAT QUARTER. 

     

    I said, THAT IS RIDICULOUS!!

     I DON'T OWE TAXES UNTIL END OF YEAR ON CASINO WINS. I PAID WHAT PREPARER DOCS SHOWED OWED. NOW OKLAHOMA SUDDENLY WANTS MORE MONEY, AND SOMEHOW FOR ME TO HAVE MAGICALLY KNOWN OKLAHOMA WOULD WANT THAT MONEY INSTEAD OF SENDING OUT A "TAX DECLARATION" OF OKLAHOMA CHARGING CASINO WINNERS INTEREST IF DONT PAY IN QUARTER THEY WIN... SMELLS... REEKS OF CORRUPTION!!

     

    I WILL TALK TO MY TAX PREPARER. 

      & I DID.

     

    MY TAX PREPARER LOOKED OVER MY RETURNS, STATED I OWED EXACTLY WHAT THEY PREPARED IN FEB 2018 ON MY 2017 WINS... I DONT OWE OKLAHOMA ANYTHING MORE. JUST IGNORE THEM. 

     

    I DID. I IGNORED OKLAHOMA TRYING TO SHAKE ME DOWN FOR MORE MONEY.

     

    TODAY... NOV. 09, 2020 OKLAHOMA TAX COMMISSION USED SOME ATTORNEY OFFICE CLEARLY AS AS CORRUPT AS OKLAHOMA IS... TO ALSO ATTEMPT TO SHAKE ME DOWN FOR MORE MONEY!!

     

    SHAMEFUL WHAT OKLAHOMA TAX COMMISSION ATTEMPTS TO DO TO OUT OF STATE PLAYERS; THEY KNOW OUR ADDRESSES, AREN'T THEY LIABLE TO MAIL US TAX CODES SHOWING US THEIR "RULES" THEY WANT US TO FOLLOW (THEY INTEND TO SHAKE DOWN CASINO WINNERS WITH INTEREST IS WHY THEY WON'T BE FULLY TRANSPARENT WITH AMERICANS WINNING AT OKLAHOMA CASINOS!!).

     

    THEY SURE USE OUR ADDRESSES AFTER .. INTEREST IS THERE ... MMM HMMM.

     

    THEIVES.

    CORRUPT THEIVES.

      we can't see your OK return or notice. 

      if your winnings were large enough the casino was probably obligated to withhold OK taxes so you would have owed nothing when you filed. every state with an income tax has different rules concerning withholding on casino, lottery, racetrack, etc. winnings. 

      when you got that notice you should have had your tax preparer call.  

      your tax preparer was wrong saying to ignore the notice. the issue on tax notices must be resolved in your favor otherwise the state or IRS will continue to come after you.

      at this point I would suggest you have your tax preparer call to find out why you owe, he may have a better understanding of what the issue is ask for a law cite and then look into it. 

      you may have to pay the tax and then file a claim for refund - this is what can happen if you just ignore tax notices - I'm not saying OK is correct.  

      that collection agency will continue to come after you. they can levy your bank account,  garnish your wages, put a lien on real estate that you might own, and more.  

      do nothing more at your own risk. 

       

      and I'm not sure what OK is saying about that "FEDERAL" payment that it said it received. OK is not the IRS and the IRS is not OK. so any federal payment should have gone to the IRS and the state payment to OK. if you sent the state payment to the IRS the check may have been destroyed and never got to OK. but can't be sure. you should research your records to see what happened to that payment and if the check cleared get a copy of the front and back. your tax preparer will need this if you have him call. until you can clear this issue in your favor, OK penalties and interest will continue to accumulate.    

       

      by the way did you have an OK tax liability in 201. I ask because to avoid withholding and/or estimated tax payments you must timely pay in 70% of 2018 tax or 100% of 2017 tax.  so if you had no tax liability in 2017 no payments were required.  also no payments were required if your tax liability was under $1,000 for 2018

        why doesn't Oklahoma casinos collect taxes from jackpots as they are earned by out of state people and why doesn't oklahoma tax commission collect their taxes instead of hiring outside firms
