What Employers Need to Know
Louisiana has released its updated 2026 Earned Income Credit (EIC) notice, effective September 10, 2026. This mandatory posting informs employees they may qualify for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit based on their income, filing status, and number of qualifying children. Every Louisiana employer must display the current version of this poster in a conspicuous location under R.S. 23:15 and R.S. 23:1018.2.
What Changed
The 2026 notice raises the income eligibility thresholds across the board and adopts a new Louisiana Works branded design. Employers still displaying the 2025 version should replace it to stay compliant.
| Qualifying Children | 2025 Threshold | 2026 Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Three or more | $61,555 ($68,675 MFJ) | $62,974 ($70,224 MFJ) |
| Two | $57,310 ($64,430 MFJ) | $58,629 ($65,899 MFJ) |
| One | $50,434 ($57,554 MFJ) | $51,593 ($58,863 MFJ) |
