Ex-IRS Insider Launches Louisiana Tax Resolution Firm with 2 Gulf Coast Offices

Louisiana Gets Its First IRS-Insider-Led Tax Resolution Firm With Two Gulf Coast Offices

Mandeville, United States – June 12, 2026 / Geaux Tax Resolution /

MANDEVILLE, Louisiana — May 26, 2026

Geaux Tax Resolution, the Louisiana-based tax debt relief firm led by a former IRS collections employee, is formally announcing expanded dual-market operations across Mandeville and Lafayette — positioning the firm as the only Gulf Coast tax resolution practice where the lead negotiator once enforced the very IRS collection actions they now fight to stop. With over 35 years of combined IRS experience on staff and a client base spanning individuals owing anywhere from $1,000 to over $100,000 in back taxes, Geaux Tax Resolution is drawing a hard line between taxpayers and the collections machinery it knows from the inside out.

KEY FACTS

35+ years of combined IRS collections experience across the Geaux Tax Resolution team
Lead practitioner is a former IRS employee — direct insider knowledge of IRS collections protocol, negotiation leverage points, and enforcement timelines
Two Louisiana office locations serving Mandeville and Lafayette markets — not a national call center
IRS garnishments and levies can be stopped — in many cases, immediate relief is available once representation is established and a power of attorney is filed with the IRS
Qualifying taxpayers may reduce total debt through IRS programs including Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreements, and Currently Not Collectible status — programs the IRS itself administers but rarely volunteers to struggling taxpayers
Unfiled tax returns — one of the most overlooked triggers for escalating IRS enforcement — are a core service area for the firm

The IRS Has a Playbook. Geaux Tax Resolution Has the Same One.

The IRS Collections Division operates on a structured escalation sequence. First come the notices — CP14, CP501, CP503 — then the final notice of intent to levy (CP90), and then enforcement: wage garnishments, bank levies, property seizures. What most taxpayers don’t know is that the IRS system is built with resolution pathways — Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreements, Penalty Abatement, Currently Not Collectible status — that can meaningfully reduce or restructure what a taxpayer owes. According to IRS Data Book statistics, the agency accepted over 13,000 Offers in Compromise in a recent fiscal year, settling tax debt for a fraction of the original balance. But those outcomes don’t happen by accident, and they don’t happen without someone who knows how to build a qualifying case.

That insider knowledge is the foundation of Geaux Tax Resolution’s practice. The firm’s lead practitioner didn’t read about IRS collection procedures in a textbook. They enforced them — reviewing financial disclosures, evaluating Collection Information Statements (IRS Form 433-A and 433-B), and making the determinations that either escalated enforcement or opened the door to resolution. That experience now works in the opposite direction, in favor of the taxpayer.

What This Means for Louisiana Taxpayers Under Pressure

A self-employed contractor in the Lafayette area recently came to the firm after receiving a Final Notice of Intent to Levy — a CP90 — with less than 30 days before their bank account was at risk. With unfiled returns for multiple years and a balance the IRS had inflated with penalties and interest, the situation looked severe. Once representation was established and a power of attorney was filed, IRS collections activity was halted while the case was reviewed. This is not unusual — but it requires knowing exactly when and how to intervene, and most taxpayers facing that scenario don’t know the clock is still running while they weigh their options.

It is worth noting that not every case qualifies for significant debt reduction. Taxpayers with high disposable income relative to their debt, or those who have previously defaulted on IRS agreements, face a harder path through programs like Offer in Compromise. Geaux Tax Resolution conducts an honest intake assessment before making any promises about outcomes — because false hope is not a service.
