First, you can only claim the credit in the year you paid the assessment. If you paid the assessment in 2018, then this is what you do. If in a prior year, you need to amend that return.
As you go through the Louisiana interview, you will eventually see a screen with the heading "Louisiana Homeowner's Insurance". If you paid for homeowner's insurance, answer "yes". The next screen will ask which kind of assessment you paid (if any).
Whether you click on the Louisiana Citizens Fair Plan or the Louisiana Citizens Coastal Plan, you will get the same next screen, which will ask you for the insurance company name, the policy number, and the amount of the assessment paid to either plan.
The result will appear on line 17 of form 540 or 540B.
Note: If you paid any of these assessments during the year, your credit is only the amount you paid toward these assessments, not your total homeowner's policy premium.
