Drake Tax - LA - Form 620, Schedule D, line 24 (Drake25)

The Louisiana Department of Revenue (DOR) has clarified that the $20,000 standard deduction should be included on Form 620, Schedule D, line 24 (“Other deductions”). This amount is the same standard deduction that appears pre-printed on Schedule F, line 3f.

Although the Form 620 instructions do not explicitly address the inclusion of the standard deduction on Schedule D, we have received confirmation from the DOR that this is their intent.

Per the guidance from the LA DOR, beginning with 2025 Louisiana Patch 6, the software will automatically include the $20,000 standard deduction on Schedule D, line 24.
