The Louisiana School Readiness Credit is not unnecessary for filing your state tax return, but it may save you money. Louisiana provides a tax credit to some parents who have children in day care. If that applies to you, that is why you are seeing questions about the form.

You may qualify for the credit if you claimed a Louisiana child care credit and your incurred child care expenses for a qualified dependent under age 6 who attended a child care facility that is participating in the Quality State rating program.

You cannot e-file if you claim this credit because Louisiana requires you to attach Form R-10614, which is available from your day child care facility.

If you do not wish to claim this credit, uncheck any dependents and TurboTax will skip the credit.
