How to Use the Oklahoma Tax Calculator
Step 1: Enter Your Annual Income
Begin by locating the field labeled Annual Income ($). Enter your total annual income in this field. It is important to input a non-negative number because the calculator requires this to determine your taxable income correctly.
Step 2: Select Your Filing Status
Proceed to find the Filing Status dropdown menu. Click on it to select your appropriate filing status from the available options: Single, Married Filing Jointly, or Head of Household. This selection is mandatory, as it can affect tax calculations.
Step 3: Input the Number of Dependents
In the Number of Dependents field, enter how many dependents you claim. Ensure this number is a whole number (integer) and at least zero. This information is used to determine how much income can be deducted for dependents.
Step 4: Specify Itemized Deductions
Enter your total Itemized Deductions ($) in the corresponding field. This is the amount you plan to itemize as deductions on your tax return. Make sure this is a non-negative number, as it will be subtracted from your income to calculate your taxable income.
