Crypto capital-gains tax in Louisiana

Louisiana replaced its graduated brackets with a flat 3.0% rate effective January 1, 2025, paired with a much larger standard deduction of $12,500 (single) or $25,000 (married filing jointly). The old personal-exemption structure was folded into the new standard deduction, and taxpayers 65 and older can exempt additional retirement income.

Common questions

How is crypto taxed in Louisiana?
At the federal level, crypto is property and gains are taxed as short- or long-term capital gains. At the state level, Louisiana taxes crypto capital gains as ordinary income — the same rate as your wages, with no long-term discount.
Does Louisiana have a lower rate for long-term crypto gains?
No — unlike the federal system, Louisiana does not give long-term gains a preferential state rate; they're taxed the same as short-term gains.
