How do I upload the PDP file to the state?

To e-file with LA, you need to download the e-file, which already is formatted to PDP from ISP. LA requires PDP format and you will need to upload it into the state’s system. Log in to your state account to upload the PDF file. 

In Louisiana, visit their PDP File Validation Tool and log in. After logging in, select the PDP file you were given from the state. Validate the PDP and once successfully passed validation, you will be able to E-file that report.
