If I move before I receive my Louisiana individual income tax refund check, will it be forwarded to me?


No. Refund checks are not forwarded by the Post Office. They are returned to Baton Rouge. You will need to contact the Department to have your address changed on the computer and your refund check mailed to your new address. You can also change your address through our Contact Us webpage.
