Is this LA? You get a deduction on your LA return for federal income tax. As your federal income tax goes down due to credits, that deduction on your state return goes down, meaning your state taxable income goes up.

I live in Iowa so I am not familiar with individual income taxes in Louisiana. So Louisiana essentially accrues the Federal income tax for the year and allows that to be deducted? In Iowa you deduct the amount of Federal income tax paid during the year.

Yes this is LA, makes sense as to why when I file through the Department of revenue website, they ask how much the federal return is. I guess this year since I entered things backwards, I'm realizing the decrease in state refund.
