Louisiana above the line deduction - NR

I worked in two states this year, with about 10% of my income coming from Louisiana, 90% from CA.  I had an above the line legal deduction on my Federal taxes that carried over to my AGI when doing my CA taxes, so no additional steps needed to be taken.  Now I'm doing my LA taxes, and there's a section that says "Adjustments to Louisiana Taxable income."  Under the Federal amount, it shows the deduction I took for the legal fees.  And then it asks me to enter the Louisiana amount. Should I be inserting those legal fees into the Louisiana income adjustment box? Or has that already been included like in CA? Also, I had taxable interest and dividends on my Federal taxes due to stocks and bonds. Do I need to pay Louisiana taxes on those, as well?
