Answer 1 :
I worked for a company in Chicago for 6 years but I maintained my address in Texas so I could avoid state taxes. You shuold be able to do that too..
Answer 2 :
You pay taxes based on your state of residence. Okla. probably withheld money, which you should get back, depending on your return.
Answer 3 :
Taxes are paid based upon both where you live and where you work. Texas has no state income tax so you don't have to worry about taxes where you live. You do have to worry about taxes where you work. If you are driving across the border to work in Oklahoma, then you will be subject to Oklahoma state taxes--you'll file as a "non-resident." If you are physically performing the work that you do in Texas, then you should not be subject to Oklahoma taxes. For example, you work at a store that's located in Texas, but the company headquarters is in Oklahoma, then you don't pay Oklahoma tax because you don't really work there. See the difference? If you wind up having to file a non-resident Oklahoma return, it's important to remember that you only have to pay Oklahoma tax on the income you earn in Oklahoma. Any investment income or retirement income would be taxed to your home state (which being Texas won't get taxed.)
