Over six-thousand Louisiana taxpayers have yet to repay the state after a computer glitch last March sent them a double tax refund. Louisiana Department of Revenue spokesperson Byron Henderson says only half of the individuals given an extra refund in error have yet to repay the state.
Henderson says ignoring collection letters for the amount owed will only delay the inevitable.
Collection efforts include offsetting state and Federal tax returns, wage garnishments and bank levies.
Henderson says procrastinating about what is owed can be costly, late fees are owed on the debt as well.
The total amount of repayment yet to be paid is $1.9 million. If you owe money to the state contact the department to return the amount in a lump sum or set up a repayment plan

Authorities arrest a suspect in the allegedly premeditated murders of three homeless people in Baton Rouge last month. East Baton Rouge Sheriff Sid Geautreaux says one of his detectives received a tip that led to the arrest of 29-year-old Jeremy Anderson…
Anderson has been charged with two counts of 1st Degree Murder, and one count of 2nd Degree Murder.
Anderson is thought to have murdered 40-year-old Gregory Corcoran and 53-year-old Christina Fowler December 13th, and 50-year-old Tony Williams December 27th. District Attorney Hillar Moore says a crime lab linked the two scenes…
Corcoran and Fowler were found underneath an overpass, and Williams was discovered on the front porch of a vacant residence.
Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul says Anderson does have a criminal history, and while they don’t have a motive yet, they’re confident it was just a one-man job…
Anderson lived just blocks away from the murders, per the Advocate.
