BATON ROUGE - Registered limited liability corporations (LLCs) that have elected to file federally as partnerships or sole proprietorships are not required to file Louisiana corporation income tax returns. Partnerships with non-Louisiana resident partners are required to file a partnership income tax return with the Louisiana Department of Revenue. If the LLC has opted to file as a partnership, please disclose the names of the partners.
Only LLCs who have elected to file federally as C-Corps or S-Corps are required to file a Louisiana corporation income tax return.
In no case is an LLC required to file and pay franchise tax.
If an LLC has received a non-filing assessment for a corporation income tax return and no such return is due, the LLC can return the assessment to the Louisiana Department of Revenue with a letter clarifying their federal filing status.
