Louisiana Update April 2021

Louisiana has updated the Earned Income Credit notices for 2020 and 2021.

Louisiana’s notice for Earned Income Credit now lists the information for both 2020 and 2021 tax filing.

On the 2020 EIC notice, the “Advance Payments of EITC Eliminated” section was removed. Instead, it now lists information about the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2020. This temporary relief is provided through the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2020. For the latest updates on coronavirus tax relief related to the Earned Income Tax Credit, check IRS.gov/coronavirus.

On the 2021 EIC notice, the Earned Income and adjusted gross income (AGI) rates for 2021 were added for people who earn $51,000 or less and have qualifying dependents. Also, the tax provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, signed into law on March 11, 2021, are under review and may affect the EITC.

This is a mandatory update.

  • Notice of the lump-sum payment must be provided in a method approved by the Department. The Department is expected to provide information regarding all approved methods on its website.
  • If—after 15 days from the date the employer notifies the Department—the employer has not received any verification from the Department as to any withholdings of the lump-sum payment, then the employermay dispense the lump-sum payment in full to the employee ordered to pay support.
