Former IRS Enforcer Expands to Mandeville and Lafayette

Geaux Tax Resolution Operates Dual Louisiana Offices With 35+ Years of IRS Collections Experience on Staff

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

MANDEVILLE, Louisiana – May 26, 2026

Geaux Tax Resolution, a Louisiana-based Tax Resolution Firm led by a former IRS collections employee, is announcing expanded operations across two markets – Mandeville and Lafayette. The firm positions itself as the only Gulf Coast tax resolution practice where the lead negotiator previously enforced the same IRS collection actions the firm now works to counter. With over 35 years of combined IRS experience on staff and a client base that includes individuals carrying tax debt ranging from $1,000 to more than $100,000, Geaux Tax Resolution draws on direct institutional knowledge of the collections process it now works against.

KEY FACTS

35+ years of combined IRS collections experience across the Geaux Tax Resolution team
Lead practitioner is a former IRS employee – with direct 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 administers but rarely volunteers to struggling taxpayers
Unfiled tax returns – one of the most commonly 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 follows a structured escalation sequence. Notices arrive first – CP14, CP501, CP503 – followed by a final notice of intent to levy (CP90), and then enforcement actions: wage garnishments, bank levies, and property seizures. What many taxpayers do not realize is that the IRS system includes resolution pathways – Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreements, Penalty Abatement, and Currently Not Collectible status – that can meaningfully reduce or restructure outstanding tax debt. 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. Those outcomes, however, require someone who understands how to build a qualifying case from the ground up.

That institutional knowledge forms the foundation of Geaux Tax Resolution’s approach. The firm’s lead practitioner did not learn IRS collection procedures from a textbook. They enforced them – reviewing financial disclosures, evaluating Collection Information Statements (IRS Form 433-A and 433-B), and making determinations that either escalated enforcement or opened pathways to resolution. That experience now operates 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 came to the firm after receiving a Final Notice of Intent to Levy – a CP90 – with fewer than 30 days before their bank account was at risk. With multiple years of unfiled returns and a balance the IRS had increased through penalties and interest, the situation appeared severe. Once representation was established and a power of attorney was filed, IRS collections activity was halted while the case underwent review. This type of intervention is not unusual, but it requires knowing precisely when and how to act. Most taxpayers facing that scenario are unaware that time continues to work against them while they consider their options.

It is worth noting that not every case qualifies for significant debt reduction. Taxpayers with high disposable income relative to their outstanding balance, or those who have previously defaulted on IRS agreements, face a more difficult path through programs like Offer in Compromise. As a Tax Resolution Firm committed to transparency, Geaux Tax Resolution conducts an honest intake assessment before making any representations about potential outcomes – because overpromising is not a service the firm is willing to offer.
