Delaware has a state income tax, so tax time here means two returns — your federal return and your Delaware return. The upside: there's no sales tax at all. Compass Tax Center handles both returns, personally, year-round, and 100% virtually. From Wilmington to the beaches, we're a secure upload and a phone call away.
A federal return and a Delaware return, prepared together so they agree and you claim every credit you're owed. Delaware is one of the few states with no sales tax at all — a real everyday break we factor into your bigger picture.
Two returns instead of one means more to keep straight. We handle the whole picture, federal and state, and we're here after April, too.
Delaware is one of only a handful of states with no sales tax at all, which is why so many people shop there. It does have a graduated income tax that tops out around 6.6%, and the city of Wilmington adds a local wage tax for people who work there.
No sales tax changes the everyday math, and the Wilmington wage tax trips some people up. We factor both into your planning and make sure your Delaware return is accurate and on time.
Delaware's mix of taxes is unusual — no sales tax, but a few others matter. If any of these are you, they're firmly in our wheelhouse.
You don't need a tax office down the road — you need the right person handling both your returns. Everything we do is secure and fully virtual, so working with us is exactly as easy from Rehoboth Beach as it is from Wilmington. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of Delaware, your tax help doesn't have to change.
