Louisiana has a state income tax, so tax time here means two returns — your federal return and your Louisiana return. Compass Tax Center handles both, personally, year-round, and 100% virtually. From New Orleans to Acadiana to the north, we're a secure upload and a phone call away.
A federal return and a Louisiana return, prepared together so they line up and you claim every credit you're owed. Louisiana just moved to a single low flat income-tax rate, which simplifies the state side — but the return still has to be right.
Two returns instead of one means more to keep straight. We handle the whole picture, federal and state, and we're here after April, too.
Starting in 2025, Louisiana replaced its graduated income-tax brackets with a single flat rate of 3% for everyone, part of a broad tax overhaul. A flat rate is simpler, but the new rules changed deductions and credits too, so the return doesn't just run itself.
A brand-new system is exactly when a careful preparer pays off. We make sure your first returns under the new flat tax are accurate and that your withholding keeps pace.
Louisiana's new flat income tax is the headline, but its sales tax is among the nation's highest. If any of these are you, they're firmly in our wheelhouse.
You don't need a tax office down the road — you need the right person handling both your returns. Everything we do is secure and fully virtual, so working with us is exactly as easy from Lafayette as it is from New Orleans. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of Louisiana, your tax help doesn't have to change.
