Q: I work in Louisiana and live in Mississippi Louisiana takes taxes out of my check I haven't filed state taxes in either
A:
I’m not sure that I understand your question. But I have included some information below, taken from the State of MS website. I encourage you to contact a tax professional to take advantage of all tax benefits.
“If you are a Mississippi resident and earn income from another state, you must include all income on your Resident form. You may be entitled to claim a credit against your Mississippi tax liability for the income taxes paid to the other state. You must include a copy of the other state's return to receive that credit. Please note, credit for taxes paid to other states is the other state's actual tax liability, not the other state's withholding. “
