Do retired VA employees need to file state income tax in Louisiana?
Answers:
If you are now living in Lousiana then you would need to file a Louisiana tax return. What Lousiana has for out of state pensions (which is what your Virginia pension would be) is the following.
Louisiana
All out-of-state government pensions qualify for the pension exemption: age 65 or older qualify for an exemption of $6,000 for single filers and $12,000 for married filing joint and both are receiving a pension.
Which is better than you would be treated if it was the other way around. Virginia fully taxes out of state pensions.
So, it is more than likely that you will need to file a Louisiana income tax return. I have included a link to the Lousiana Department of Revenue if you have any further questions or want further information.
If they now live in Louisiana they do.
Federal retirement benefits, both military and nonmilitary, are exempt from Louisiana income tax.
If your only income is VA retirement, you do not have to file a Louisiana return.
