Oklahoma Income Tax Withholding

Oklahoma requires employers to withhold state income tax from their employees' wages and remit the amounts withheld to the Withholding Tax Division, Oklahoma Tax Commission.

All employers paying wages subject to withholding are required to withhold state income tax from wages earned by resident employees within the state and from wages earned by nonresident employees in the state. If an Oklahoma resident earns wages outside the state subject to another jurisdiction's withholding, Oklahoma withholding is not required. However, should the other state not have an income tax law, the employer must withhold Oklahoma tax from those wages earned in that state.

All employers in Oklahoma must allow employees time off to vote if they do not have sufficient time to vote before or after work. This summary is restricted to coverage of private employers. Employers must grant up to two hours of leave for employees to vote. Employers located too far from the polls for employees to vote within two hours must grant sufficient time for employees to travel to and from the polls and to vote.
