The IT-540 2D form is an essential document for Louisiana residents filing their state income tax returns. This form is specifically designed for individuals who are residents of Louisiana and need to report their income, deductions, and credits accurately. The form captures critical information such as the taxpayer's filing status, exemptions, and dependents, which play a significant role in determining the overall tax liability. Taxpayers must indicate their federal adjusted gross income, as this figure forms the basis for calculating Louisiana tax obligations. Additionally, the IT-540 2D allows for various nonrefundable and refundable tax credits, which can help reduce the amount owed or increase potential refunds. Importantly, it also provides sections for declaring any payments made throughout the year, including withholdings and estimated payments. As taxpayers complete the form, they can opt to contribute a portion of their overpayment to designated charitable organizations, reflecting a commitment to community support. Understanding the IT-540 2D is crucial for ensuring compliance with state tax laws and maximizing potential benefits.

I.This worksheet should be used to calculate the three School Expense Deductions listed below. Refer to Revenue Information Bulletins 09-019 and 12-008 on LDR’s website for more information. Expenses paid with amounts deducted as START K12 Savings Program Contributions are not eligible for this deduction.

1.Elementary and Secondary School Tuition – R.S. 47:297.10 provides a deduction for amounts paid during the tax year for tuition and fees required for your dependent child’s enrollment in a nonpublic elementary or secondary school that complies with the criteria set forth in Brumfield v. Dodd and Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or to any public elementary or secondary laboratory school that is operated by a public college or university. The school can verify that it complies with the criteria. The deduction is equal to the actual amount of tuition and fees paid per dependent, limited to $5,000. The tuition and fees that can be deducted include amounts paid for tuition, fees, uniforms, textbooks and other supplies required by the school.

2.Educational Expenses for Home-Schooled Children – R.S. 47:297.11 provides a deduction for educational expenses paid during the tax year for home-schooling your dependent child. In order to qualify for the deduction, you must be approved by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) for home-schooling. The deduction is equal to 50 percent of the actual qualified educational expenses paid for the home-schooling per dependent, limited to $5,000. Qualified educational expenses include amounts paid for the purchase of textbooks and curricula necessary for home-schooling.

3.Educational Expenses for a Quality Public Education – R.S. 47:297.12 provides a deduction for the fees or other amounts paid during the tax year for a quality education of a dependent child enrolled in a public elementary or secondary school, including Louisiana Department of Education approved charter schools. The deduction is equal to 50 percent of the amounts paid per dependent, limited to $5,000. The amounts that can be deducted include amounts paid for uniforms, textbooks and other supplies required by the school.

II.On the chart below, list the name of each qualifying dependent and the name of the school the student attends.

The IT-540-2D form is a crucial document for Louisiana residents filing their individual income tax returns. However, several other forms and documents are often used in conjunction with it to ensure accurate reporting and compliance with state tax laws. Below are some of the key forms you might encounter.

Form W-2: This form reports an employee's annual wages and the amount of taxes withheld from their paycheck. Employers are required to provide this form to employees by January 31 each year. It’s essential for accurately completing the IT-540-2D, as it provides the income figures needed.
Texas Motorcycle Bill of Sale: This form is essential for documenting the sale and transfer of a motorcycle in Texas, ensuring both buyer and seller have proof of ownership change. For detailed guidance, visit legalpdf.org.
Form 1099: This form is used to report various types of income received throughout the year that are not classified as wages. Freelancers, independent contractors, and certain other workers typically receive this form. It’s crucial for reporting additional income on your tax return.
Schedule E: This form is used to report income or loss from rental real estate, royalties, partnerships, S corporations, estates, trusts, and residual interests in REMICs. If you have income from these sources, you will need to include this schedule with your IT-540-2D.
Schedule G: This form is for reporting nonrefundable tax credits. It allows taxpayers to claim credits for various expenses, such as child care and education. Including this schedule helps to reduce the overall tax liability reported on the IT-540-2D.

Understanding these additional forms can streamline the tax filing process and ensure that you maximize your deductions and credits. Always keep your financial documents organized and accessible, as they play a vital role in your overall tax preparation. Being proactive can lead to a smoother experience when filing your Louisiana income tax return.

When filling out the IT-540 2D Louisiana form, there are several important points to keep in mind. Understanding these can help ensure that your tax return is accurate and complete.

Filing Status: Select the appropriate filing status that matches your federal return. This includes options such as single, married filing jointly, or head of household. It is crucial that this information is consistent across both forms.
Exemptions: Carefully list all exemptions, including yourself, your spouse, and any dependents. If you have more than six dependents, be sure to attach a separate statement with the required information.
Tax Credits: Be aware of both nonrefundable and refundable tax credits available. These can significantly reduce your tax liability. Make sure to calculate and enter these amounts accurately on the form.
Refund Options: When indicating how you wish to receive your refund, you have multiple choices, including a MyRefund Card, paper check, or direct deposit. Ensure that the information provided for direct deposit is accurate to avoid delays.

By paying close attention to these areas, you can navigate the IT-540 2D Louisiana form with greater ease and confidence.
