Married filing separate in Louisiana is it just my income?

It is more complicated than that since LA is a community property state.

No. When you file Married Filing Separately and live in a community property state, you have to allocate 1/2 of each of your incomes, expenses, taxes paid on each tax return.

Please review the TurboTax Help articles Five Tax Tips for Community Property States and Married Filing Separately in community property states and the IRS Pub 555 Community Property.
