Louisiana taxpayers have until September 6, 2024 to claim millions of dollars in state tax refunds before they become unclaimed property.

The Louisiana Department of Revenue (LDR) sent Notice of Unclaimed Property letters to 18,801 individual and business taxpayers advising them to claim their refunds before they are transferred by law to the Unclaimed Property Division of the state treasurer’s office. The amount of unclaimed refunds due for transfer if not claimed from LDR is $9,344,916.

Taxpayers who receive one of these letters from LDR can claim their refunds by one of two methods:


The Department of Revenue will issue paper checks to all taxpayers submitting claims electronically or with the voucher by the September 6 deadline.

Any refund not claimed by the deadline remains the property of the taxpayer, and can be retrieved from the Unclaimed Property Division of the state treasurer’s office.
