| Military retirement pay | Exempt. The Department of Defense benefits library reports that Oklahoma does not tax military retired pay (Title 68, Section 2358). The Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs benefits page still describes an older 'greater of 75% or $10,000' rule, so if your tax software disagrees, check the Oklahoma Tax Commission. |
