What are the changes made with the passage of the Constitutional Amendment #2 on November 13, 2021, by voters to Individual Income Tax?
With the passage of Constitutional Amendment #2, the provisions of Act 395 of the 2021 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature became effective. Effective for income tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, Act 395 repealed the federal income tax deduction and limits Louisiana’s Excess Federal Itemized Personal Deductions to medical expenses in exchange for reduced tax rates. The rates are available on our individual income tax page under the heading "Determination of Tax". The calculation for Louisiana’s Excess Federal Itemized Personal Deductions remains the same, except that medical expenses must be deductible at the federal level and exceed the federal standard deduction for the taxpayer’s filing status.
