Marcia Denise Jordan, 46, of Mandeville, Louisiana, pleaded guilty today to one count of tax evasion, a five-year felony under Title 26, United States Code, Section 7201. The admission marks the end of a years-long scheme to defraud the IRS of hundreds of thousands in federal income taxes.
Court documents reveal Jordan willfully attempted to evade taxes owed for the 2011 tax year by submitting a fraudulent IRS Form 4868, the Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. On the form, she claimed her total estimated tax liability was $0 and falsely reported $10,000 in payments to the IRS—despite having received $493,266 in taxable income that year.
What followed was a complete refusal to comply. Jordan never filed a legitimate tax return for 2011. The deception didn’t stop there—prosecutors say she failed to file accurate returns for multiple years, stretching from 2009 through 2014, racking up a massive unpaid tax bill.
Under her plea agreement, Jordan has agreed to pay $313,899 to the IRS for taxes due across those years. But the price of her crime goes beyond dollars. She now faces a maximum of five years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, three years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment fee.
U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans, who announced the plea, credited a multi-agency crackdown involving IRS-Criminal Investigations, the United States Secret Service, and the Slidell Police Department for unraveling the scheme. The collaboration underscores how financial crimes often trigger cross-jurisdictional scrutiny.
Sentencing is set for June 6, 2018, before United States District Court Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jon Maestri and DOJ Tax Division Trial Attorney Grace Albinson are leading the prosecution. No excuses. No delays. Just accountability on the docket.
