I found the following message from Louisiana Department of Revenue's website:
State Employees, Teachers, and Other Retirement Benefits Exclusion —Individuals receiving benefits from certain retirement systems listed below are allowed to exclude those benefits from their Louisiana tax-table income. In addition, for Louisiana individual income tax purposes, retirement benefits paid under the provisions of Chapter 1 Title 11 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, including disbursements of money from DROP accounts, are exempt from state taxation.
Legal Citations:
R.S. 11:405 Louisiana State Employees’ Retirement System (LASERS)
R.S. 11:570 Funded Judicial Retirement Plan
R.S. 11:704 Teachers’ Retirement System of Louisiana (TRSL)
Thus, retirement income from TRSL, Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana is exempt from state taxation. Since I am living in Indiana now, I only file Indiana income tax return, not file Louisiana income tax. Is this correct? Turbotax software actually only recommended me file Indiana income tax.
