Thousands of state employees are behind in their income taxes and risk disciplinary actions or termination if they don’t resolve the matter, according to data compiled by the Oklahoma Tax Commission.

A total of 5,599 employees received a final notice of noncompliance this year, an increase of 26% from 2018.
