No, if you e-filed you will not have to send in your tax returns. However, if you have a balance due and you didn't select the direct debit payment option in TurboTax, the program should have prompted, you to print out a Federal and Louisiana State voucher form along with the IRS and State's payment center address to send your payment. 

You can also pay electronically at the Louisiana Department of Revenue. This secure online application allows you to pay by either debit card, credit card or ACH.

If you are using the TurboTax Online version, you can locate a copy of your voucher forms for Federal and State, by using these steps below:

  • Sign in to TurboTax (if you're not already signed in)
  • Click on the Take me to my return button
  • Click on the Tax Tools button
  • Click on the Print Center (lower left panel).
  • Click on Print, Save or View this year's return (the Federal and State forms will be listed). 

If you are using TurboTax CD/Download version, you can click on the Print Center (upper right hand corner) to print, save or view the PDF. (See images below).

Did you have a balance due (do you owe Federal or State taxes)?

Thank You! I didn't see why I had to but the front sheet said for me to mail it in and was confusing.  It did also give me a form to send in with my payment.
