Renters credit in Louisiana

Varies

Can Renters Get a Tax Break in Louisiana?

Short answer: No: Louisiana doesn't offer a renter's credit or rent rebate. Louisiana has no state tax credit, deduction, or rebate specifically for renters. Louisiana's homestead exemption and senior assessment freeze apply only to owner-occupied homes. Lower-income renters can still claim Louisiana's earned income credit: 5% of the federal EITC (through 2030).

Rent on your own home isn't deductible on your federal return; the exceptions are a home office used for your business or renting out part of the place you rent.

Records to keep: Keep your lease, rent receipts or a landlord rent certificate, and proof of household income. Check your state's current-year form and deadline before you apply.
