I lived in the state of texas all of 2006 however I paid state tax to Louisiana for the first 4 months because I did not change my deductions with my company. Will I be able to get the money paid to Louisiana back?

If you were not a resident of Louisiana, and your wages are not attributed to Louisiana, then I don't see how your employer would withhold taxes and send them to Louisiana for you. But maybe they did if you told them you were a Louisiana resident.
Your W-2 will document what state the income is attributed to. If you think your W-2 is wrong, you have to argue that point with your employer.
If you do not live in Lousiana, file a nonresident return. You will have to pay Louisiana income tax on any income on your W-2 that is attributed to Louisiana. If you have no Louisiana income, then any Louisiana tax you paid will be refunded.

Yes. Every state with an income tax charges anyone who lives there for income tax on money made by working in states without state income taxes. Sometimes, they even change income tax on money made working in states with state income taxes. The ONLY two situations in which money you make working is totally free of state income tax are (a) if you both work AND live in a state that has no state income tax, or (b) if you work in one state without a state income tax AND live in another state that also does not have a state income tax. If either state has an income tax, then you must pay state income tax to at least one (sometimes both) states.

Of all the states you picked, it had to be LA! Their Dept of Revenue is notorious for being difficult. Trust me, I've had clients in your position. Engage a CPA (this is not a job for H & R Block or the like). File a return declaring your income to LA (presumably zero) and claiming a refund of tax paid. Be prepared to argue, but you will win in the end. Can you document your residency?

My understanding is the IRS or any state does not want any tax other then what is owed. This being the case if you can present proof of your error, the money should be returned without a struggle.

call Louisiana Dept of Revenue and tell them that you overpaid your taxes and could you redo it again......
or else, call H&R Block and ask them...they would know all the tax questions or else find out for you the answer. also, if you call them, they are very nice and will help you.
another, is go to the website of LA Dept of Revenue and find out from there.
