Instructions for Form 511X
This form is for residents only. Part-year and nonresidents must use Form 511NR to amend.
When to File an Amended Return
Generally, to claim a refund your amended return must be iled within three years from the date tax, penalty and interest was paid. For most taxpayers, the three year period begins on the original due date of the Oklahoma tax return. Estimated tax and withholding are deemed paid on the original due date (excluding extensions).
If your Federal return for any year is changed, an amended Oklahoma return shall be iled within one year. If you amend your Federal return, it is recommended you obtain conirmation the IRS approved your Federal amendment before iling Oklahoma Form 511X. Filing Form 511X without such IRS conirmation may delay the processing of your return, however, this may be necessary to avoid the expiration of the statute of limitation.
File a separate Form 511X for each year you are amending. No amended return may encompass more than one single year.
If you discover you have made an error only on your Oklahoma return we may be able to make the corrections over the phone instead of iling Form 511X. For additional information, call our Taxpayer Assistance Division at (405) 521-3160. Within Oklahoma, call toll-free (800) 522-8165. Operating hours are from (CST) 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
When completing this form, it is recommended you have the Resident Individual Income Tax Instructions booklet (511 Packet) for the tax year you are amending. The packet will provide detailed explanation. If you do not have a copy, one may be downloaded from our website (www.tax.ok.gov) beginning with tax year 1997 or you may order a packet for any tax year by calling our forms request line at (405) 521-3108.

The tax rates did not change during the tax years of 1990 - 1998. The tax rates also remained unchanged for the tax years 1999 - 2001, for tax years 2002 - 2003 and for tax years 2004 - 2005. Thus, if you are amending a 2000 return, you may refer to the tax tables for any year from 1999 - 2001.
All entries in column “B” must be substantiated by an enclosed document or your refund may be delayed. After completing your amended return, see the “When You Are Finished” section of the instructions for a complete list of necessary docu- ments you must enclose with this return.
