Credit for Taxes Paid to Other States

If you were a resident of Louisiana for the entire year, you are allowed a credit for the net income tax liabilities paid to one or more states of the United States. Please note the net income tax liability is generally not the amount withheld. No credit may be claimed for taxes paid to cities, the District of Columbia, or foreign countries. The credit allowed on your Louisiana return must be for the same taxable year for which the tax was paid to other state(s) or in the succeeding taxable year. Print on Line 1 the amount of the paid income tax liabilities to other state(s). Round to the nearest dollar. A copy of the return(s) filed with the other states must be attached to your Louisiana return.
