Are Louisiana income taxes required to be withheld from payments reported on Form 1099-MISC?


No. However, the recipient is required to file a declaration of estimated tax if his Louisiana income tax liability can reasonably be expected to exceed $1,000 after deducting all allowable credits (R.S. 47:116).
