La. Regulator Reminds Homeowners About Citizens’ Tax Break

Louisiana homeowners have several ways to save money on their 2008 taxes.

State Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon is reminding homeowners that they can get a tax rebate if they were charged a Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corp. assessment last year.

Information about state tax breaks is at the insurance department’s Web site: www.ldi.state.la.us.

Those who had storm damage last year might also be entitled to a federal tax credit. More information is at the Internal Revenue Service’s site, www.irs.gov.
