Because of the COVID-19 national emergency, state governments and the federal government have extended the deadlines for filing and paying 2019 individual income tax.
The new date is July 15, 2020. Visit https://www.irs.gov and https://revenue.louisiana.gov for more information.
The following resources may be available if you need them. IRS-certified volunteers can help with form preparation and filing.
- Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) program – for people older than age 60
- Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program – for people who generally make $56,000 or less, persons with disabilities and limited English-speaking taxpayers
