Maine has a state income tax, so tax time here means two returns — your federal return and your Maine return. Compass Tax Center handles both, personally, year-round, and 100% virtually. From Portland to Bangor to Down East, we're a secure upload and a phone call away.
A federal return and a Maine return, prepared together so they agree and you claim every credit you're owed. Whether you're salaried, self-employed, seasonal, or retired, we make sure both are accurate and on time.
Two returns instead of one means more places to save and more places to slip up. We handle the whole picture, federal and state, and we're here after April, too.
Maine's income tax is graduated, so the rate rises with income and tops out around 7.15%. But Maine also lets retirees exclude a meaningful chunk of pension and retirement income from state tax — a detail that's easy to miss and worth real money.
That's exactly the kind of thing we catch. We make sure your Maine return uses every exclusion and credit you qualify for, not just the federal ones.
Maine's income tax gets the attention, but a few other taxes matter too. 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 Presque Isle as it is from Portland. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of Maine, 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.
