HB 2646 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Revenue and taxation; adjustments; wagering; tax year; effective date.

HB 2646 eliminates a limitation on taxpayers deducting wagering income when calculating Oklahoma taxable income, directly affecting individuals and businesses claiming such deductions. The bill amends Oklahoma Statute 68 O.S. § 2358 to allow full itemization of wagering income without prior restrictions. It also updates statutory references and adjusts tax year calculations for net operating losses. The bill was referred to the Governor but received a pocket veto on June 15, 2025, meaning it did not become law.
