Due to the need to address the increasing occurrences of identity theft, it will take additional time to process refunds. Generally, if your return was completed correctly, you can expect electronically filed refunds to take up to 45 days. The LA DOR site says: “The expected refund processing time for returns filed electronically is up to 45 days.

For paper returns, taxpayers should expect to wait up to 14 weeks.
