Oklahoma Form 511-V Individual Income Tax Payment Voucher

What Is Oklahoma Tax Form 511 V?

Oklahoma Tax Form 511-V is designed for use by taxpayers who need to make a payment on their state income tax but are not doing so electronically. It serves as a companion document to the primary tax return, ensuring that your payment is correctly attributed to your account. Using Form 511-V allows the state tax commission to process your payment more efficiently and reduces the risk of errors associated with payment allocation.

Why use a payment voucher?

Using a payment voucher like Oklahoma Form 511-V is essential for multiple reasons. Firstly, including a payment voucher helps the tax authority to identify and process your payment alongside your return quickly. Secondly, it ensures that payments are not misplaced or misapplied, especially when mailing a check or money order. 

Thirdly, online completing Form 511-V allows you to make a payment separate from your electronic filing, granting you flexibility if you are unable to pay online. Lastly, for taxpayers who file their returns electronically and opt to pay by check, the voucher must link the payment with the already submitted tax return.

How to Fill Out the Oklahoma Form 511 V

When you're preparing to fill out form 511-V, there are a few key steps you'll want to follow to ensure everything is completed accurately:

1. Check the period for which taxes are being reported. For 2023 it's from the first day of the year 2023 to the last day, December 31, 2023.
2. Note that the voucher needs to be submitted by April 15, 2024, to avoid any late penalties or interest charges.
3. Provide your personal information, including your full name (starting with your given name, followed by your middle initial, and then your surname).
4. Input your mailing information by stating the address number, street name, any apartment number, rural route, or PO Box where you receive your mail.
5. Write down the name of your city, then specify the state as Oklahoma, followed by the ZIP code.
6. List your Social Security Number. If it's a joint return, use the Social Security Number that appears first on the return.
7. For a joint return, add your spouse’s Social Security Number.
8. You have the option to include a daytime contact phone number.
9. Indicate the total balance due by filling in the corresponding line.
10. Specify the actual amount you're paying.

Remember, you don't need to include a copy of your Oklahoma tax return with this payment voucher. Once completed, review the form to ensure all entered information is accurate.
