Important Announcement

Due to critical system updates and the Labor Day holiday, the Louisiana Department of Revenue (LDR) will be closed from 2 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4, 2026, through Monday, Sept. 7, 2026. In addition to the closure of all LDR offices during this period, all online services including electronic tax filing and payments and the Louisiana Taxpayer Access Point (LaTAP) portal will be unavailable as well. All in-person, telephone and online customer service will resume on Tuesday, Sept. 8.

How do I stop LDR from issuing bills after I have filed for bankruptcy?

Even though LDR is notified by the courts of a taxpayer’s bankruptcy, Statements of Account will continue to be issued without payment voucher coupons. The statements will contain a bankruptcy statement at the bottom of the notice.
If your statement does not contain the bankruptcy statement, contact the Collection Division, Bankruptcy Section at (225) 219-2255 and provide your bankruptcy case number and the court in which the bankruptcy was filed. You may also fax the information to (225) 219-2250. Be sure to include your revenue account number, address, and contact phone number.
