Deductions & credits

Do you still qualify for this credit?

If so, you can amend your 2022, 2023 and 2024 tax returns and claim a refund. For 2023 and 2024, you would only be able to claim a carry over credit, not the actual credit since it is past the 5 years.  The credit is listed on the OK credits page. 

For years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, you would be able to amend your return IF you had a tax liability for those years of less than $5,000 and would be able to carry forward the credit.  

Ex.  If in 2018, you were eligible for the $5,000 credit, and your tax liability was $2,000, you would be able to carry forward $3,000.  You would use up $2,000, and if you would have filed or amended prior to 2021, you would have received a refund of $2,000, but since it is past 3 years you are no longer able to claim a refund.  You can however, amend and carry forward any additional amounts.  

To claim the credit, you must be in your first 5 years of employment in OK with a qualified employer.  The credit is a non-refundable credit, but can be carried over from year to year for up to 5 years.

For line 1, the credit would be $5,000

Line 2, is your carryover amount not used in the previous years

line 3 is the total credit you have available. 

Here are the instructions on how to file an amended return.
