Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return Information
• Requirement for Filing Return
Every corporation organized under the laws of this state, or qualified to do or doing business in Oklahoma in a corporate or organized
capacity by virtue or creation of organization under the laws of this state or any other state, territory, district, or a foreign country, including
associations, joint stock companies and business trusts as defined by Oklahoma statutes unless exempt by statutes must file an Annual Franchise Tax Return Form 200.
The term “doing business” means and includes every act, power, or privilege exercised or enjoyed in this state as an incident to do or by virtue of powers and privileges acquired by the nature of all organizations falling within the purview of the Franchise Tax Code.
All Foreign (non-Oklahoma) Corporations including non-profits, must pay an Annual Registered Agent Fee of $100.00. Indicate this amount
on Line 13 of the Form 200.
The maximum annual franchise tax is $20,000.00. Maximum filers should complete and file Form 200 including a schedule of current corporate officers and balance sheet.
If a taxpayer computes the franchise tax due and determines that it amounts to $250.00 or less, the taxpayer is exempt from the tax and a
“no tax due” Form 200 is required to be filed. A schedule of corporate officers must still be filed and, for foreign corporations, the $100.00 registered agents fee is still due.
Applications for refunds must include copies of related Oklahoma Income Tax Returns. The use of the correct corporate name and FEIN on your return and all correspondence will facilitate in timely processing and handling.
• Time for Filing and Payment Information
Oklahoma Franchise Tax is due and payable July 1st of each year unless a Franchise Election Form 200-F has been filed. The report and tax will be delinquent if not paid on or before September 15. A ten percent (10%) penalty and one and one-fourth percent (1.25%) interest per month is due on payments made after the due date.
NOTE: Effective November 1, 2017, corporations who remit the maximum amount of $20,000.00 in the preceding tax year, the tax will be due and payable on May 1st of each year and delinquent if not paid on or before June 1st. These corporations are not eligible to file Form 200-F.
If the Charter or other instrument is suspended, a fee of $150.00 is required for reinstatement. (Line 16 of Form 200.)
If you wish to make an election to change your filing frequency, or to file using the Oklahoma Corporate Income Tax Form 512 or 512-S, complete Franchise Election Form 200-F: . You may file this form online or download it at tax.ok.gov. Form 200-F must be filed no later
than July 1.
• Franchise Tax Computation
The basis for computing Oklahoma Franchise Tax is the balance sheet as shown by your books of account at the close of the last preceding
income tax accounting year, or electing to change filing to match the due date of the corporate income tax, the balance sheet for that corporate tax year.
The franchise tax for corporations doing business both within and outside of Oklahoma, is computed on the proportion to which property owned, or property owned and business done, within Oklahoma, bears to total property owned, or total property owned and total business done everywhere.
“Property owned” is the book value of the assets. For the purpose of determining apportionment as between Oklahoma and elsewhere, liabilities are not to be deducted from gross assets.
The term “business done” means and includes the engaging in any activity or the performing of any act or acts in this state that constitutes the doing or transacting of business. Business done in Oklahoma includes sales shipped from Oklahoma to another state in which the corporation is not doing business.
Inter-company Payable and Receivables between parent, subsidiary and/or affiliates, are to be eliminated from the calculations necessary to determine the amount of franchise tax due.
Oklahoma franchise (excise) tax is levied and assessed at the rate of $1.25 per $1,000.00 or fraction thereof on the amount of capital allocated or employed in Oklahoma.

Filling out the Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return requires attention to detail and an understanding of your business finances. You will navigate through sections that require basic company information, financial statements, and other specific data related to the company's assets, liabilities, and operations within the state of Oklahoma. The steps below will guide you through completing this form. As you go through each step, check the instructions provided in the form itself for clarification on certain fields or calculations.
After completing the form, review it thoroughly to ensure all information is accurate and complete. Attached any required schedules or additional pages if needed. Once satisfied, submit the form with any due payments by the deadline to avoid penalties and interest. Remember, keeping accurate and up-to-date financial records greatly simplifies this process.
What is the Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return Form FRX 200?
The Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return Form FRX 200 is a document that every corporation organized under Oklahoma laws, or doing business in Oklahoma, must file yearly. This includes corporations from other states, territories, districts, or foreign countries operating in a corporate capacity within Oklahoma. The form is used to calculate and report the franchise tax owed to the state based on the corporation's assets and business activities within Oklahoma. It requires detailed information such as the Taxpayer FEIN, account number, reporting period, and a balance sheet among other details.
Who needs to file this form, and are there any exemptions?
All corporations, including associations, joint stock companies, and business trusts, operating in Oklahoma need to file this form unless they are exempt by statutes. This requirement also extends to foreign (non-Oklahoma) corporations, including non-profits, which must still pay an Annual Registered Agent Fee of $100.00, indicated on Line 13 of the form. However, if a taxpayer calculates their franchise tax due and it amounts to $250.00 or less, they are exempt from the tax but must submit a "no tax due" Form 200 along with a schedule of corporate officers. The $100.00 registered agents fee for foreign corporations is still applicable in this scenario.
When is the form due, and what are the penalties for late filing?
Oklahoma Franchise Tax is due and payable by July 1st each year unless a Franchise Election Form (Form 200-F) has been filed, changing the due date. The report and tax will be considered delinquent if not paid on or before September 15, attracting a penalty of ten percent and an interest rate of one and one-fourth percent per month on late payments. For corporations paying the maximum amount of $20,000.00 in the preceding tax year, the due date shifts to May 1st of the following year, with delinquency kicking in if not paid by June 1st. These corporations cannot file Form 200-F.
How is the franchise tax calculated?
The franchise tax is calculated based on the balance sheet as per the books of account at the close of the last preceding income tax accounting year. For corporations that operate both within and outside Oklahoma, the tax is computed proportionally based on how the property and business within Oklahoma compare to total property and business activities everywhere. "Property owned" refers to the book value of assets, and liabilities are not deducted from gross assets in this calculation. "Business done" encompasses all business activities in the state. The tax rate is $1.25 per $1,000.00 or fraction thereof on the capital employed or allocated in Oklahoma.
Can the Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return be filed online?
Yes, the Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return, along with Officer Listings, Balance Sheets, and the Franchise Election Form (Form 200-F), can be filed online through the Oklahoma Taxpayer Access Point (OkTAP). This platform simplifies the filing and payment process, making it more convenient for corporations to comply with their tax obligations to the state of Oklahoma.
Filling out the Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return (Form FRX 200) involves detailed attention to various sections and requirements. Common mistakes can lead to inaccuracies that impact the filing process and potentially result in penalties. Here are seven frequent missteps users should be vigilant to avoid:
Incorrect Reporting Period Dates: Many filers mistakenly enter the wrong dates for the reporting period (Section C). It's critical to ensure that these dates align accurately with the current tax year being reported to avoid processing delays or errors in the tax assessment.
Failure to Specify Amended or Estimated Return Types: Forgetting to check whether the return is an Amended Return (G) or an Estimated Return (H) can lead to misunderstandings regarding the submission's status. It is essential to correctly indicate the type of return to ensure proper handling and processing by the tax authority.
Inaccurate Calculation of Net Assets: A common error is incorrect calculation of Total Net Assets in Oklahoma (line 1) and Total Net Assets (line 2). It's paramount to follow the instructions closely, ensuring that all assets are correctly located within or outside of Oklahoma and accurately calculated to avoid misstatements of asset values.
Omission of Current Officer Information: Neglecting to include or update current officer information (Schedule A) can result in compliance issues. This detail is mandatory, and all officer information, including social security numbers, should be current and accurate as of the effective date noted on the form.
Misunderstanding Tax Calculation and Apportionment: Incorrectly completing lines 4 through 11 can lead to erroneous tax calculations. Understanding how to compute the value of capital employed in Oklahoma is essential for accurately determining the franchise tax due, including proper apportionment and rounding as instructed.
Incorrect Registered Agent Fee or Other Charges: Failing to accurately include the registered agent fee (line 13) and other applicable charges such as interest, penalty, and reinstatement fees can lead to an incorrect total due (line 18). It's important to review these figures to ensure all required fees are included and accurately calculated.
Lack of Signature and Date: An often-overlooked but simple mistake is the omission of the authorized signature and date at the end of the form. This oversight can lead to the return being considered incomplete, potentially incurring delays or the need for refiling.
By being mindful of these common errors and taking care to review the form thoroughly before submitting, filers can improve the accuracy of their Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return, ensuring compliance and reducing the likelihood of processing issues or penalties.
When preparing to file the Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return, businesses often need to gather and complete several other forms and documents to ensure compliance and accuracy in their submission. These documents support the main franchise tax form by providing detailed financial, structural, and operational information necessary for a thorough assessment of the tax obligations.
Collecting and completing these documents meticulously supports a corporation’s franchise tax filing process by offering a comprehensive view of its financial and operational status, ensuring compliance with Oklahoma’s regulations. It's imperative that corporations pay close attention to the submission guidelines and deadlines for each of these documents to maintain good standing and avoid penalties.
The U.S. Corporate Income Tax Return, similar to the Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return, requires detailed financial information from corporations, including income, deductions, and credits. Both forms calculate tax obligation based on the corporation’s financial activities, albeit for different types of taxes—one for income and the other for franchise tax. They also share requirements for reporting periods, due dates, and financial statements, ensuring that authorities receive consistent data across different tax types.
State Business Registration Forms, much like the Oklahoma version, require corporations to provide essential information when registering or renewing their registration. These forms often collect details on the corporate structure, principal office address, and officer information, similar to the Oklahoma Franchise Tax Return's Schedule A. While focusing on registration rather than tax assessment, both documents play crucial roles in maintaining up-to-date records with state authorities.
The Annual Report for Corporations often parallels the Oklahoma Franchise Tax Return in capturing the current state of a corporation. These reports typically require updates on officer information, financial health, and business activities—similar to the balance sheet and officer details sections in the tax return. Both documents ensure corporations regularly report essential information to maintain good standing and transparency.
The Loan Application Form for business financing shares similarities with the Oklahoma Franchise Tax Return, especially in the necessity for detailed financial information. While one aims for tax assessment and the other for securing financing, both require comprehensive data on the corporation's assets, liabilities, and overall financial health to evaluate the corporation’s stability and risk.
Entity Classification Election Form (IRS Form 8832) intersects with the Oklahoma tax return through its impact on how a business is taxed. By electing their classification, businesses indirectly influence the details required on state-level franchise tax returns, as different entities might have varied reporting obligations. Both documents are crucial for tax identity and obligations.
The Change of Registered Agent Form, similar to sections of the Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return, collects information about the corporation's registered agent. This is a critical role for process serving and official communications. Both forms contribute to keeping the registered agent's information current, ensuring legal and tax notices are properly directed.
The Sales and Use Tax Return, akin to the Oklahoma Franchise Tax Return, demands detailed transactional data to calculate the tax owed to the state. While focusing on sales and use tax from sales transactions, it similarly requires careful financial documentation and adherence to reporting periods, directly impacting the financial responsibilities of businesses operating within the state.
The Business License Renewal Form often collects updated information on the business's activities, location, and contacts, similar to the updates provided through the Oklahoma Franchise Tax Return. Though one focuses on licensing and the other on taxation, both require current data to ensure compliance with state regulations and the continuation of legal business operations. Each plays a part in the broader framework of business regulatory compliance.
When completing the Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return, there are specific actions you should take to ensure the process is smooth and the filing is accurate. Here are some of the do's and don'ts:
Understanding the Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax Return, Form FRX 200, is crucial for corporations doing business in the state. However, misconceptions about the form can lead to misunderstandings and potential errors in filing. Here are five common misconceptions explained in a straightforward manner:
This isn't the case. The Oklahoma Annual Franchise Tax specifically applies to corporations, including foreign corporations doing business in Oklahoma, as well as certain associations, joint stock companies, and business trusts. Sole proprietorships, partnerships, and LLCs that are not taxed as corporations are not subject to this tax.
Actually, if a corporation calculates its franchise tax due and it amounts to $250 or less, the corporation is exempt from the tax. However, even if no tax is due, a “no tax due” Form FRX 200 must still be filed, along with a schedule of corporate officers for record-keeping purposes.
The balance sheet date noted on Form FRX 200 should correspond to the close of the last preceding income tax accounting year. This ensures consistency in the financial documentation presented to the Oklahoma Tax Commission and helps in accurate computation of the Franchise Tax based on the corporation’s financial position at a standardized time.
When computing the franchise tax, liabilities are not deducted from the total assets. The tax computation is based on the book value of assets as shown in the corporation’s balance sheet without adjusting for liabilities.
