Since the employer has already withheld and submitted the Louisiana state income taxes, the only way to get a refund is to file a Nonresident Louisiana tax return.
Louisiana Nonresident tax return instructions
Go to the My Info section of TurboTax located in the black panel on the left side of the screen, and confirm that you have entered the correct state information:
- Click Edit to the right of your name
- Confirm your input under #2 Tell us the state(s) you lived in
- Go back to the personal information section, and verify the mailing address and "Other state income" section. Be sure to answer accordingly to the question asking "Did you make money in any other states?".
- Proceed to enter your income in the federal section of the program, but confirm you select LA for the income sourced to that state. All other income should not be sourced to any state as Washington does not impose any income taxes.
Your information will pull into your nonresident state income tax return for LA.
