Louisiana TPA + POA Requirements
Why this matters
Beyond works directly with state agencies on your behalf – managing new hire reporting to labor departments, calculating tax rates, paying taxes and insurance contributions, and filing the necessary reports. To perform these tasks, we must be authorized to represent your business with the tax authorities in every state where you have obligations.
For example, if your business operates in both Louisiana and Texas, you’ll need to complete and submit a separate Power of Attorney (POA) for each state.
Because each agency has its own procedures, the requirements and steps may differ. Below are the instructions for Louisiana.
