How can I get a copy of my tax return?

Taxpayers may request copies of any tax return or other previously filed document by completing a Tax Information Disclosure Authorization, Form R-7004. Instructions for the form can be found here. As of July 17, 2015, the research fee for copies of tax returns authorized by R.S. 47:1507 are as follows:

• $15.00 for a copy of any tax return or other document for each year or tax period requested, regardless of whether the requested return or document is located.
• $25.00 for each certified copy of any return or other document for each year or tax period requested, regardless of whether the requested return or document is located.

All research fees for copies must be paid when you submit the Tax Information Disclosure Authorization, Form R-7004. Payments can be by check or money order made payable to the Louisiana Department of Revenue. Cash cannot be accepted. Credit card payments can be submitted in Louisiana File Online.
