Retirement income in Oklahoma

Varies

Does Oklahoma Tax Retirement Income?

Short answer: Partly. Each taxpayer may exclude up to $10,000 of retirement benefits, including pensions, 401(k), 403(b), 457, and IRA distributions (government and private plans share the $10,000 limit).

Government pensions: Federal civil service (CSRS) retirement paid in lieu of Social Security is 100% exempt. Pensions, traditional IRA and 401(k) withdrawals are taxable federally either way; Roth withdrawals after 59½ (5-year rule met) are tax-free.

Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
