I am a Texas Resident on SSI and won $1200 in winnings in an Oklahoma casino, do I need to file taxes this year? Thanks.

No, you are not required to file a federal return if this is your only income. However, you do need to file one for the state of Oklahoma.

Nonresident
Except as otherwise provided for in the Pass-Through Entity Tax Equity Act of 2019, every nonresident with Oklahoma source gross income of $1,000 or more is required to file an Oklahoma income tax return.

In order to complete a state return, in Turbotax (TT), you must first complete a federal return (even if you are not required to file).  The federal info then transfers to the state return.  You do not need to file the completed federal return.

You probably do not qualify for the free edition https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/free-edition.jsp

You may want to try filling out the form by hand. https://www.taxformfinder.org/oklahoma/form-511nr

If OK income tax was withheld from your winnings, you can probabky skip filing an OK return. Technically, you are still required to file but are unlikely to owe any tax (and may even get a refund).
