As an Oklahoma resident and a Native American, are my military wages exempt from Oklahoma income tax?

The income of an enrolled member of a federally recognized Indian Tribe is exempt from Oklahoma Individual Tax when the income is compensation paid to an active member of the Armed Forces of the United States.  The income is considered exempt if the member was residing within his tribe's "Indian Country" at the time of entering the Armed Forces of the United States, and the member has not elected to abandon such residence.

When preparing a resident income tax return deduct the exempt income on the exempt tribal income line (Form 511, Schedule A).
