Oklahoma income tax rates for 2026
2026: HB 2764 (2025; effective Nov 1, 2025) restructured the tax for tax year 2026: top rate cut from 4.75% to 4.5% and six brackets (0.25%-4.75%) collapsed to three taxed brackets (2.5%/3.5%/4.5%) above a new 0% band on the first $3,750 (single) / $7,500 (joint/HOH). It also adds automatic 0.25-point cuts to every rate (down to 0%) each time the State Board of Equalization certifies a revenue-growth trigger; the first certification can occur at the December 2026/February 2027 meetings, so the earliest further cut would take effect January 1, 2028 — no further change for 2026. Standard deduction and $1,000 exemptions unchanged.
