Bigger tax deduction for home upgrades
For tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, Louisiana homeowners can deduct 50% of qualifying voluntary retrofit costs. Work must bring an existing home into compliance with state building codes or fortified-home standards from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. You must claim the home's property-tax homestead exemption; rental homes do not qualify. Government incentives for the work reduce the deduction, which is capped at $10,000 per home. Claim it on your state income tax return for the year the work is completed. The Department of Revenue must issue needed rules, including claim forms and proof requirements. This deduction reduces taxable income, not your tax bill dollar for dollar.
