Louisiana Paycheck Taxes
Louisiana withholds state income tax using its 2026 withholding method (flat (transitional)), in addition to federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Louisiana have state income tax?
Yes. Louisiana is using a flat transitional rate for 2026, with your standard deduction determined by the election you make on Form L-4 (no deduction, single/married-separate, or married-joint/head-of-household).
What taxes are deducted from a Louisiana paycheck?
Federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and Louisiana state income tax. Louisiana has no additional statewide employee payroll tax and no local income tax.
What does the Form L-4 standard deduction election change?
It sets a fixed annual deduction from your Louisiana taxable wages before the state rate is applied — the amount depends on which of the three L-4 elections you make, and it isn't calculated automatically the way the federal standard deduction is.
