Oklahoma Income Tax Withholding

[SoonerATC]

How do I change my Oklahoma income tax withholding?

Each year I seem to get a Federal refund, but owe the state. This past year I apparently underpaid state withholding so much that I owe an interest penalty, but I can't for the life of me find out where I increase my withholding amount? I see on the W-4 where I can amend the number of exemptions I claim, my filing status, and any additional amounts I want withheld, but I think this is just for the Federal withholding.

Thanks!

You could increase the exemption or I believe that you can request that a specific amount/percentage be taken out through your payroll dept.

If I am wrong, please correct me.

This happened to me several years ago and I just had my employer (OGE) to start holding out an additional 30 dollars per pay check.

I see on the W4 where I can withhold extra money. I thought that was just for the Federal portion of the withholding though. That's for the state?

I have additional fed and state taken out of each check. Got tired of owing every year somehow. Changed withholdings several times before I got it right.

That's what I'm asking.

How do I specifically change my state withholding? (Federal I'm not concerned about, but state was WAY off).

On the form itself I am out. Mine I can select digitally the additional amount to be withheld, and the w4 is automatically submitted to DFAS.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the replies.

Tell your boss or human relations or whomever is in charge of payroll and they will give you a form to sign. Some companies you can even do it online.
My wife and I both have $50 fed and $30 state extra held out. So about May we usually get a nice surprise instead of a bad one.

Think you need a form like this, but that is from 2011. Your employer should have it.
