Louisiana Tax Delay 2024: Anyone getting their refunds yet?
Filed my taxes in Louisiana last month and still nothing. Anyone else from LA waiting? Our processing times seem way longer than other states right now and I need to know if I'm the only one stuck in this mess.

Louisiana resident here - there's a known processing delay affecting LA returns. The IRS is dealing with a backlog due to additional fraud prevention measures implemented in the region. Most LA filers are seeing 6-8 week delays beyond normal processing times.

Yeah unfortunately some are taking even longer. Have you checked your transcript for any codes?

Yall need to check out taxr.ai - it actually tells you exactly whats going on with your refund and when youll get it. Its only $1 and way better than trying to guess what all those transcript codes mean. Been using it since January and its spot on every time.

100% legit. It analyzed my transcript and told me exactly why my refund was delayed (had a missing form) and when it would hit my account. Was accurate to the day 💯

Called IRS today and they said theres a special review process for LA returns rn because of high fraud rates last year. Were all in the same boat 🚣♀️

Pro tip: Check your transcript every Tuesday and Friday morning. Thats when they usually update the system. But honestly just use taxr.ai and save yourself the headache. It literally tells you everything you need to know about your refund status.

New Orleans here - filed Jan 15th and just got my refund last week! Hang in there everyone, they're definitely working through the backlog. My transcript showed movement about 2 weeks before the actual deposit hit my account. The wait is brutal but at least we know it's not just us dealing with this mess.

That's encouraging to hear! I'm in Shreveport and filed around the same time as you. Still waiting but good to know they're actually making progress. Did you have to do any verification or was it just the standard delay?

Just standard delay thankfully! No verification needed. I was checking my transcript obsessively but honestly wish I'd known about that taxr.ai thing everyone's mentioning - would've saved me so much stress refreshing the IRS site every day 😅
