Massachusetts has a state income tax, so tax time here means two returns — your federal return and your Massachusetts return. Compass Tax Center handles both, personally, year-round, and 100% virtually. From Boston to the Berkshires to the Cape, we're a secure upload and a phone call away.
A federal return and a Massachusetts return, prepared together so they agree and you claim every credit you're owed. Massachusetts uses a flat rate for most income, with an extra surtax at the very top — and we handle both.
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.
Massachusetts taxes most income at a single flat rate, but since 2023 it also adds a 4% surtax on the portion of income above $1 million a year. Most people never touch it — but for a high earner, or anyone with a big stock or business-sale year, it can be a real jump.
If your income could cross that line, planning ahead pays off. We help you time income and gains so a good year doesn't come with a surprise Massachusetts bill.
Massachusetts's income tax gets the attention, but a few other taxes matter too — especially its estate 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 the Cape as it is from Boston. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of Massachusetts, your tax help doesn't have to change.
