samingeorgia Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'm working on a taxpayer who lives in Georgia but has a large amount of income ($100K +) from a royalty interest in a gas well in Louisiana. I believe that they should file a non-resident return. Am I right? The website for the Louisiana Department of Revenue has lots to say about pro athletes, but not so much on energy. I would have thought that oil and gas was a bigger deal in their state than sports, but what do I know.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 LA is very mean to non-residents, but whether he has to file there depends on his status as an investor. Just owing an interest does not automatically make him 'active', and if not, he does not owe LA any taxes. Just as owning GM stock does not make you owe MI taxes [or wherever GM is headquartered].
