State tax filing
"This time they took out $2700 in state taxes. So I used to live in Oklahoma. But worked in Texas. But I’ve moved over here to Texas. But kept my Oklahoma DL AND had my w2 sent to Oklahoma."
I assume "they" is your employer. Your employer appears to think you are still an OK resident and is properly withholding OK tax. Just working in TX does not get you out of paying OK tax.
You need to tell your employer that you are now a TX resident. You can't just claim to be a TX resident. You must actually BE a TX resident. Get a TX drivers license and car registration, have your mail sent to your TX address, register to vote in TX.
In the mean time, you have to file a 2024 non-resident OK return to claim a refund of the improper withholding. If you moved during 2024, you file a part year resident return (instead of non resident) to get some of the withholding refunded. Be sure to use you TX address.
Another issue is: what is the OK mailing address you are using. If you still own or maintain a home in OK, you may still be a statutory resident and subject to OK tax on all your income. More details are needed.
For example, you can't lease a home in TX to stay in during the week, while you work, and return to your permanent home in OK on weekends, and call yourself a TX resident for tax purposes. You would still be an OK resident.
