The Louisiana Department of Revenue has responded to increasing occurrences of tax fraud by implementing enhanced security measures to protect Louisiana taxpayers. This means it will take additional time to process refunds. The expected refund processing time for returns filed electronically is up to 4 weeks. For paper returns, taxpayers should expect to wait as long as 8 weeks. If you selected direct deposit for your refund, the funds should be deposited within one week of processing.
