If I live and own property in Florida but receive income from Louisiana how are taxes paid

If I live and own property in Florida but receive income from Louisiana how are taxes paid?
I receive a 1099 and W2 from employers in Louisiana, but live in Florida. I pay extremely high property taxes in Florida, so I would like to know if I do not have to pay Louisiana income taxes, and if my property taxes are deductible. Please let me know your source of information as well. Thanks!

Were you present in Louisiana to do the job? If not, your income is not taxable in Louisiana. You should keep a letter from your employer that you worked from Florida and never worked in Louisiana. My answer is based on general rules. I do not know if Louisiana has any exception. Read http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/04/list-of-articles.html

Yes, you have to file a LA state tax return, and pay state income taxes on the LA income. See http://www.revenue.louisiana.gov/sections/individual/default.aspx for more info.
