Oklahoma Tax Strategy: Sooner State Freedom Planning
Oklahoma has a progressive income tax up to 4.75%. Combined with federal taxes, over 40% can go to government. Section 7702 provides tax-free access to your retirement funds.

Oklahoma's 4.75% top rate combined with federal taxes creates substantial retirement income taxation. Energy wealth built over decades can be significantly diminished.
✅ The Good News
- Moderate 4.75% top state rate
- Strong energy and aerospace sectors
- Low cost of living statewide
⚠️ The Challenge
- Top rate 4.75% on retirement distributions
- Combined state/federal exceeds 40%
- Energy income volatility complicates planning

Matt Nye's Recommendation
"Oklahoma built its wealth on energy—and that industry has created significant prosperity. But 4.75% state taxes plus federal means over 40% of your 401(k) goes to government."
"For energy executives in OKC and Tulsa, aerospace professionals at Tinker, and business owners across the state, that is decades of Oklahoma work going to fund government programs."
"Section 7702 is Sooner smart. Tax-free retirement income means you keep more of what you have built. Oklahoma values hard work. Hard work deserves to pay off for you, not the taxman."
— Matt Nye, 20-Year Industry Veteran
