Does anyone know anything about Louisiana State form R-10606?

Yes thank you, I have the form. I don't understand how to fill it out.

Let me help. Follow these steps:

Col 1- the initials for the other state where income was earned

Column 2 - income earned in state listed

Column 3 - #column 2 divided by LA income (usually IT 540 line 7).  This gives the % of income earned in col 1 state

Column 4 - multiply % from column 3 time LA deductions (usually IT 540 line 8c)

Column 5 -  Col 2 - Col 4

Column 6 -  col 5 divided by LA taxable income (usually IT 540, line 10)

Column 7 - col 6 times your LA tax (usually IT 540, line 11). Round to the nearest dollar.

Column 8 - find the tax liability on Col 1 state return and enter it here

Column9 - enter the smaller of col 7 or col 8.

I am having trouble with getting column 6. If I subtract column 4 from column 2, I get a negative number. Also to get column 6 to a percentage, it would be in the 100's. I'm not sure I'm doing something right between columns 4, 5, and 6. Any help would be appreciated.
