Since the amount of total income you are receiving is unknown and whether you have been filing as Married Filing Joint or Separate, just to be clear, the first $25,900 of taxable income you report on your Federal tax return will not be taxable, with the next braket above that being 10% on the next $20,500.

Your State of Louisiana taxes your income in a similar fashion, with the first $9,000 not being taxable and then 1.85% on the first $25,000 of taxable income.
