I am also holding a LA trust return waiting to be efiled because of the state efiling mandate.

Electronic Filing Mandate

Revised Statute 47:1520 authorizes the secretary the discretion to require electronic filing of tax returns or reports by administrative rule. Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC) 61:III.1509 requires the electronic filing of the Fiduciary Income Tax return, Form IT-541. Taxpayers are required to file the return electronically for income tax periods beginning:

• January 1, 2019 - if the return is filed with more than 10 Schedules K-1 attached.
• January 1, 2020 - if the return is filed with one or more Schedule K-1 attached.
