As an Oklahoma resident and a Native American, are my military wages exempt from Oklahoma income tax?
The income of an enrolled member of a federally recognized Indian Tribe is exempt from Oklahoma Individual Tax when the income is compensation paid to an active member of the Armed Forces of the United States. The income is considered exempt if the member was residing within his tribe's ''Indian Country'' at the time of entering the Armed Forces of the United States, and the member has not elected to abandon such residence.
When preparing a resident income tax return deduct the exempt income on the exempt tribal income line (Form 511, Schedule A).

How do I avoid winter waste and save money on utility bills?
When it comes to wasting energy, the cold winter months can be the most costly, as poor insulation can contribute up to a 30 percent loss of heat. What can you do to avoid waste?
- Install weather stripping to eliminate spaces between a door and frame. A tiny 1/16'' space is equivalent to leaving a window open three inches.
- Turn your thermostat down to 68° or lower. Each degree above 68 can increase your home heating bill by as much as 3 percent.
- Open blinds and curtains during the day to allow sunlight to naturally heat your home.
- Seal cracks with caulk and install outlet seals.
- Change furnace filters often to greatly improve the efficiency of your unit.
- Install a programmable thermostat to automatically lower the temperature at night or when you?re not at home.
