On your Louisiana return, when answering the question “Are you required to file a federal return?”, it is important to know what this means so that you can answer it correctly. Some individuals are not required to file a federal return but must file a Louisiana return. If you answer “No” to this question, the program WILL NOT pull over your income from the federal return to be taxed on your state return.
