Budget & Taxes

SB 48 limits when Oklahoma taxpayers can deduct certain capital gains from their state income tax. It specifically restricts the deduction for "qualifying gains receiving capital treatment" to only certain tax years, affecting individuals and businesses with capital gains transactions. The bill amends Oklahoma's tax code (68 O.S. 2021, Section 2358) to update the rules governing these deductions, ensuring they align with specific tax year parameters. This change modifies how capital gains are treated for state tax purposes without altering federal tax rules.

SB 367 modifies Oklahoma's earned income tax credit (EITC) calculation for tax years 2022 through 2025. It sets the state credit at 5% of the federal EITC amount and requires that the maximum credit be prorated based on how much a taxpayer's Oklahoma-adjusted gross income compares to their federal adjusted gross income. This change directly affects low-to-moderate income Oklahoma residents who claim the state EITC on their tax returns. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
