Do I need to pay taxes on my Louisiana state refund?

Asked a year ago
No, you do not need to pay taxes on your Louisiana state refund. Your state refund is generally not taxable income on your federal tax return. However, if you claimed itemized deductions in the prior year and received a tax benefit from those deductions, you may need to include a portion of your refund as income on your federal tax return. The amount that needs to be included as income is usually reported on Form 1099-G, which you will receive from the Louisiana Department of Revenue. It is important to consult a tax professional or refer to the IRS guidelines to ensure accurate reporting of your state refund on your federal tax return.
