You can check the status of your Louisiana Individual Income Tax refund online using Where's My Refund? LINK

Before checking your refund status, have the following information available:

• Social Security Number (SSN)

• Tax Year

• Filing Status (Single, Married Filing Jointly, Head of Household, etc.)

• Refund Amount Requested

Please allow sufficient time for your return to be processed before checking your refund status.

• Electronically filed returns: Allow up to 4 weeks

• Paper returns: Allow up to 8 weeks

• Returns selected for additional review may take longer.

If your refund is taking longer than expected, it may be because your return requires additional review. Common reasons include:

• Identity verification

• Missing or incomplete information

• Math or filing errors

• Refund offset for debts owed to the state or another agency

• Processing of an amended return

• A duplicate return filed for the same tax year

Important: Do not file a second return if you have already submitted one. Filing another return for the same tax year may delay processing or suspend your refund while the return is reviewed.

If additional information is needed to process your return, the Louisiana Department of Revenue will contact you by mail or through your LaTAP account, if applicable.
