Louisiana automatically grants all individuals a 6-month extension to file without having to file a separate extension request.
To avoid interest and penalty on any tax due, a taxpayer can file Form R-2868V, Automatic Extension Payment Voucher with payment by May 15. Payments can also be made online at the Louisiana Department of Revenue website here.
To complete Louisiana Form R-2868V in TaxSlayer Pro, from the Louisiana Tax Return Menu select:
- Miscellaneous Forms
- LA Extension of Time to File
- Enter Extension - Enter the Louisiana tax liability, the amount of Louisiana tax withheld, and the amount of the estimated payments made to the state. The sum of the amount due less the amount already paid equals the balance due.
- Electronic Information Menu - Select this menu to e-file the voucher but only if making payment by direct debit. If paying by mail, skip this menu and print the voucher.
