Have you earned any income in OK while you have been there as a student?  If you have not earned income in OK you have no reason to enter anything about OK on a tax return.  You are a resident of the state your parents who can claim you as a dependent live in.  

 

 

Living away at school is considered to be a "temporary absence" from your home state.   If you did earn income in OK, you file a NON-resident OK return first  and then prepare a resident tax return for your home state.

Living temporarily in Oklahoma in order to attend school does not make you a resident of Oklahoma.  You’re still a resident of the state in which your main, primary home is located.  If you had income in Oklahoma, you’d be taxed as a non-resident.

Don't enter OK as a residence.   You are a nonresident of OK.     Enter your resident state (where you are from) and enter OK in the Other State Income box if you worked in OK.
