Q: I owe the State of Oklahoma back income taxes.

I have received a final demand letter from a collections/law firm for the amount owed. Obviously, I cannot pay the amount owed in full or I would have. How long does Oklahoma have to collect back income taxes? What are my options?

I live in Nashville, TN now.

You will need to post in OK for that tax query. However TN exemption law will control any collections here if you claim exempt property.

I hesitate to recommend doing that, because it will make it extremely difficult for the executor to obtain a federal taxpayer ID number for the estate, which is an essential prerequisite to opening an estate bank account.
