I do not live in Louisiana. How do I obtain a refund for taxes withheld from gambling winnings in Louisiana?


Any nonresident with income (winnings) from Louisiana sources who is required to file a federal individual income tax return must file a Louisiana return reporting income earned. If the amount withheld is overpaid, a refund of the difference will be issued or credited. You must file Form IT-540B, Nonresident and Part-year Resident Return, to report your winnings and withholdings to Louisiana. To obtain a copy of the return, visit LDR’s Forms page or call (888) 829-3071 and select option 6.
