About Filing and Paying Online

Beginning with the 2024 tax year, taxpayers should use Louisiana Taxpayer Access Point (LaTAP) to file and pay both Individual and Business taxes. This page provides information on how to file and pay individual and business taxes, with special instructions for credit card payments, refund tracking, and more.

Individual Tax Options

First year using LaTAP for individual filings:

Individual Payments and Refunds

Bank transfers and ACH payments can be made at no cost through LaTAP. Additionally, you have the option to pay your taxes, below, using a credit card for an additional processing fee.

Prior Year Filing Individual Options

Individual income tax for 2023 and prior years will be handled separately via the tax filing information at Individual Income Tax Filing.

Business Tax Options

§ Use LaTAP to access your business tax account information online with options to update addresses & make payments (also many tax forms can be filed — Automobile Rental, Beer Tax, Excise Gasoline and Special Fuels, Withholding L1s, Sales Tax, Hotel/Motel, and N.O. Exhibition Hall).
