Omaha is a city of opportunity, and most of the people I work with here are financially responsible, they just got hit with a tax problem they didn’t see coming. If you’re searching for tax help in Omaha, here’s the first thing to know: there’s a real difference between free filing help and someone who can represent you before the IRS. I’m Ben Butterfield, an Enrolled Agent, and when you call, you get me, not a call center.
Free VITA-style tax prep sites do excellent work on a straightforward return, but they can’t negotiate with the IRS on your behalf, respond to a notice, or represent you in an audit. That’s the gap I fill. I’ve spent over 10 years helping Omaha residents and business owners navigate the IRS, from small business owners in Benson and the Old Market to families in Papillion, Bellevue, and communities across Douglas and Sarpy counties.
Omaha Tax Resolution Services
I offer a wide range of tax relief solutions for Omaha residents and Nebraska businesses, including:
- IRS Notice Resolution – Clarifying and resolving IRS communications before they escalate.
- Tax Lien Assistance – Helping remove federal tax liens on your property.
- Offer in Compromise (OIC) – Negotiating a reduced settlement on your total tax debt.
- Installment Agreements – Creating structured payment plans that fit your budget.
- Innocent Spouse Relief – Protecting you from a spouse’s tax liability.
- Audit Representation – Standing by your side during IRS audits.
- Penalty Abatement – Reducing or eliminating IRS penalties and interest.
- Bank Levy Release – Preventing the IRS from seizing your bank account.
- Wage Garnishment Release – Stopping IRS wage deductions immediately.
What an Enrolled Agent Can Do
As an Enrolled Agent, I hold the same unlimited right to represent taxpayers before the IRS that an attorney does, in every state, for any tax matter. That covers audits, collections, appeals, and negotiating a settlement. A tax preparer who only files returns can’t do any of that. More about my background.
What Your First Call Involves
When you call, I ask what notice or letter you’ve received, or what’s actually happening with the IRS, and give you a straight read on your options before you commit to anything. No pressure, no upfront fee to talk.
When Free VITA Help Is the Right Call
If you just need help filing a simple return and don’t have an active IRS problem, a free VITA site is the right choice, use it. If the IRS has already sent a notice, started a levy, or you owe back taxes, that’s when you need someone who can represent you, not just prepare a form.
Serving Omaha and the Surrounding Area
I serve clients throughout the greater Omaha metropolitan area, including Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, Ralston, Council Bluffs, and communities across Douglas and Sarpy counties. Whether you’re a W-2 employee, self-employed contractor, or small business owner, I have the experience to resolve your IRS issues efficiently.
Nebraska State Tax Issues
In addition to federal IRS matters, Omaha residents may also face issues with the Nebraska Department of Revenue. I can help you navigate both federal and state tax challenges so you don’t have to face either agency alone.
