Where Did That Number Go?
We've all been there. You're elbow-deep in tax prep, forms overflowing, and suddenly...it hits you. You need your Oklahoma Tax ID number, and it's vanished like a magician's rabbit (hopefully not poofed into thin air). Don't fret, my friend! This little number can be hiding in a few places.
QuickTip: Slow scrolling helps comprehension.
For the Forgetful Business Owner:
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
**Check the Mail: **The Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC) is pretty good about sending out snail mail reminders with your snazzy tax ID number. Do a quick raid on your filing cabinet (or that ever-growing pile by the door) and see if a friendly letter from the OTC isn't hiding amongst the bills.
The Digital Deep Dive: The OTC offers a magical portal called OkTAP (Oklahoma Taxpayer Access Point). If you've registered for an account (which you should have!), you can probably find your ID number nestled amongst your tax info. Just log in and see if it's there!
For the Solopreneur:
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
If you're a one-person show, your Oklahoma Tax ID number might just be your good ol' Social Security number (SSN). Unless you've snagged a fancy Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS, your SSN is likely your tax ID buddy.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
