relocation package: Questions Answered – "“What about the tax rates in Oklahoma” - 05/30/09 08:29 AM
Many of my phone calls are from folks that live in a state other than Oklahoma.  They are either moving here due to jobs, family, etc, or they are considering moving here as a retirement location.  
 
Tax concerns are sometimes different for the two scenarios but not always. 
 
My objective is to bring together some information here in this post for you who are moving to Oklahoma, in particular, Southeast Oklahoma.
 
 
For income tax information, the state of Oklahoma has a simple page with easy to understand charts. Just follow the link.
