Refund Offsets to other State Agencies (LaTOGA)

About Refund Offsets to other State Agencies (LaTOGA)

Louisiana state law permits the Louisiana Department of Revenue to offset individual income tax refunds and/or overpayments to reduce or satisfy an outstanding liability owed to other state agencies. When the Louisiana Department of Revenue offsets a state refund, the taxpayer will receive a Garnishment to Levy letter notifying them of the offset. The notice will include the offset amount, the tax period, and the name of the state agency receiving the payment.
