Kentucky has a state income tax, so tax time here means two returns — your federal return and your Kentucky return. Compass Tax Center handles both, personally, year-round, and 100% virtually. From Louisville to Lexington to the mountains east, we're a secure upload and a phone call away.
A federal return and a Kentucky return, prepared together so they line up and you claim every credit you're owed. Kentucky uses a single flat rate for everyone, which keeps the state side simpler — but it still has to be done right.
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.
Kentucky taxes personal income at a single flat rate rather than a sliding scale, and the state has been steadily lowering that rate over the past several years. A flat rate makes the math simpler, but it doesn't mean the return runs itself — the credits, withholding, and any other income still have to be handled right.
We keep up with where the rate lands each year so your Kentucky return is accurate and you're not over- or under-withholding along the way.
Kentucky's flat income tax is the main event, but a few other taxes matter — and Kentucky is one of the few states with an inheritance tax. 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 Paducah as it is from Louisville. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of Kentucky, your tax help doesn't have to change.
Start now or book a free consultation. We're here year-round — for tax season and everything after it.
