Sorry if I am late to the party but I just read an article about this online. My wife and I are seeing and extra $500 monthly since 1/1. It's been a big discussion among everyone I work with over here.

But LA has a provision that auto increases taxes to steal your money?? What in the frick!?!?!

Not quite

Louisiana law states that the taxes are based on your net income which would be higher with a lower federal income tax

So you will pay slightly more in state income tax but not enough to cancel out your federal savings by any stretch

The LA state income tax is based upon your income MINUS federal tax.

If your fed tax goes DOWN...then, the state tax will go UP (because your State taxable income is up)


But, it will obviously be a smallish increase.


Hypothetical example:

You are getting 500 more per month...the state tax increase may be 10...so, you end up with 490.


Since your LA tax is based upon you Federal "net"...if you Fed "net" is higher...you pay LA tax on a bigger taxable income.

Also Edwards taking the Medicare expansion which now the state (with a spending and revenue issue) needs to cover moving forward.
