What is the Volunteer Firefighter Subtraction?
Act 458 of the 2007 Regular Session provides for an exclusion of $500 per tax year for individuals who serve as volunteer firefighters. To qualify for this exclusion, the taxpayer must complete twenty-four (24) hours of continuing education and be an active member of the Louisiana State Fireman's Association or on the departmental personnel roster for the State Fire Marshal's Volunteer Fireman's Insurance Program.
