State tax filing

I'm pretty confused as well.

PLEASE HELP!

I'm a Texas resident who worked in Oklahoma for five months in 2020 with a company that has a Kansas address on my W2 form.

For some reason, HR didn't deduct any Oklahoma state income tax from my pay for any month in 2020 (but is deducting it for the months I've worked in 2021).  I haven't yet received a response from HR as to why this happened.

I made more than $1000, so am trying to file my state taxes, but BOTH Turbo and H&R Block are telling me that I don't owe any taxes to OK for 2020.  I've tried to run it as both a non-resident and part-time resident....and still it says that I don't owe anything,  H&R allows me to manually go into the form and change my pay in OK to what I made and the taxes owed does change to $1300....but then it tells me that because I'm manually over-riding their program that I'm no longer allowed to e-file.

It also states that if I turn it in this way, I would be guilty of underpaying taxes to the state (??) and face multiple penalties. 

I'm just not sure what to do and feel like I'm missing something that's pretty obvious to everyone else.

I'm leaning toward just turning in TurboTax's version of the return. Everything I put in is 100% accurate, so I just don't understand why I'm not having to pay taxes on this money. 

I don't have the funds to see a "tax professional," so I pretty frustrated right now.

What am I missing??
