What Happens When You Get an Enrolled Agent Who Actually Answers His Own Phone

$1.2M in IRS debt eliminated. Zero clients sent to voicemail. One person handling your case from panic call to final settlement—not a call center queue.

The IRS notice says they’re garnishing your wages in 30 days. You call one of those 1-800 national firms. Sales rep takes your $5,000. Then you’re transferred to a “case manager” who’s never negotiated with the IRS. Then your file sits.

That’s not how this works.

I’m Ben Butterfield, the Enrolled Agent who will personally handle your case. When you call, you get me. When the IRS calls, I answer. When it’s time to negotiate your $135,000 debt down to $10,000—I’m in that room. Not case manager #4,672.

My record: Over 90% settlement achieved for a small business owner facing $135,000 in debt. $134,000 saved for a client the IRS was bullying with language barriers. Hundreds of sleepless nights ended. Zero families lost to bankruptcy on my watch.

Why the IRS Hates That You Found This Page

I’ve had clients of all walks of life come through the front door of BPB Tax Resolutions. Business owners who are one step away from bankruptcy. Newlywed families trying to start their life with over $100,000 of debt. I’ve seen tax problems that loom over taxpayers like an insurmountable wall.

These problems require an advocate who will stand up for the taxpayer through thick and thin, and find a way over that wall, no matter what.

For over 10 years, I’ve been that advocate. Over $1.2 million in tax debt eliminated. Hundreds of families saved from financial ruin and protected from the never-ending phone calls from the IRS . Tax resolution is more than a job to me—it’s my mission.

And I’m here to fight for YOU.

I started my journey as a humble tax preparer. Through my early days of work, I noticed the struggles of a few of my clients. There were issues with the IRS that went beyond the scope of normal tax preparation. I saw these struggles as a call to action, and I donned my education cap to study hard and earn the coveted title of Enrolled Agent. This is when BPB Tax Resolutions was born.

What You WON’T Find Here:

❌ Sales quotas that pressure you into expensive packages
❌ “Case managers” who’ve never met the IRS face-to-face
❌ Automated email updates while your levy hits tomorrow

What You Can EXPECT From Us:

✅ Direct access to the EA handling your negotiation
✅ Transparent pricing before you pay a dime
✅ My personal cell for genuine emergencies

Our History Of Tax Resolution Success

When the IRS examines your business returns or questions your financial statements, I don’t just understand tax law—I understand the financial story you’re trying to tell. That dual expertise has saved my clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in negotiations.

One of my clients—let’s call him Marcus—called me at 11 PM on a Tuesday. He’d just put his 3-month-old daughter to bed. His wife was crying in the bathroom. The IRS notice on his kitchen table said they were levying his business bank account in 14 days. $135,000 debt. No cash flow. No way to make payroll. His exact words: “Ben, I don’t know how to tell my employees I can’t pay them because I screwed up my taxes.”

8 months later: $10,000 settlement. 93% of debt eliminated. Marcus sent me a photo of his daughter’s first birthday party with one line: “This doesn’t happen without you.”

The $135,000 Question: What If He’d Waited?

If Marcus had done nothing:

– Day 14: IRS empties business bank account ($47,000 seized)
– Day 30: Can’t make payroll, employees quit
– Day 60: IRS files tax lien, credit destroyed for 10 years
– Day 90: Business closes, personal assets targeted next
– Day 180: Wage garnishment, home equity line seized
– Total cost of inaction: $135,000 + business closure + marriage strain + bankruptcy.

Another client was being harassed by the IRS over a tax bill of more than $190,000. When they asked me for options, I did some digging and saw that the IRS was not playing by the rules, and they were using a language barrier to make my client’s life difficult! I called the IRS agent, faxed them my power of attorney, and got to the bottom of things. Finally, the IRS accepted our final package of $56,000, a savings of more than $134,000!

These are just a few results of the many cases I’ve helped taxpayers with. If you are struggling with taxes that you owe the IRS, please reach out to us. BPB Tax Resolutions is here to protect YOU.

How We Fight For You

STEP 1: Emergency Triage (24-48 Hours)

What I Do:

Stop wage garnishments, bank levies, and collection activity
File power of attorney with IRS to become your official representative

Why This Matters: The IRS operates on a 30-day countdown clock. Once they send a Final Notice, you have 30 days before levy. Most national firms take 2-3 weeks just to assign your case. I file your POA within 48 hours because every day counts. One client came to me on Day 28—we stopped a $43,000 bank levy on Day 29.

STEP 2: Financial Investigation (Week 1-2)

Obtain your IRS transcripts and complete file
Identify errors, statute of limitations issues, and penalty abatement opportunities
Calculate your REAL tax liability (often lower than IRS claims)

STEP 3: Strategy Session (Week 2-3)

Present your options: Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreement, Currently Not Collectible, or Penalty Abatement
Show you the numbers: what you’ll pay, how long it takes, and what’s possible
You make the informed decision; I execute the strategy

STEP 4: The Negotiation (Month 1-8)

I handle ALL IRS communication (no more stressful phone calls for you)
Submit your resolution package with supporting documentation
Negotiate directly with IRS agents using my decade of experience

STEP 5: Final Resolution & Future Protection

Secure your settlement or payment agreement in writing
Ensure you stay in compliance with future filing requirements
You get your life back, sleep at night, and move forward

⚠️ Where National Firms Drop The Ball:

Big tax mills submit your OIC package, then… silence. You call for updates, talk to a different rep each time, get vague “it’s processing” answers.

Here’s what I do differently: I maintain direct contact with your assigned IRS Revenue Officer. When they request additional documentation (which they ALWAYS do), I respond same-day. When they lowball the first offer, I negotiate. The firms charging $8,000 upfront? They ghost you at this stage. This is where I earn my fee.

Why This Works Better Than National Tax Mills:

When you call Optima, Community Tax, or other 1-800 firms, here’s what happens:> – Sales rep #1 quotes you a price
> – Case manager #2 (non-EA) collects your documents
> – You never meet the Enrolled Agent (if there even is one)
> – Your file sits in a queue with 200+ other cases

With BPB Tax Resolutions:
> – You talk directly to me, Ben Butterfield, EA – the person who will handle your case
> – I personally analyze your situation, negotiate with the IRS, and see it through to resolution
> – You have my direct phone number and email
> – Your case is MY priority, not case #4,672 in a call center queue
