Montana has a state income tax, so tax time here means two returns — your federal return and your Montana return. The upside: there's no state sales tax. Compass Tax Center handles both returns, personally, year-round, and 100% virtually. From Billings to the Flathead, we're a secure upload and a phone call away.
A federal return and a Montana return, prepared together so they agree and you claim every credit you're owed. Montana is one of the few states with an income tax but no general sales tax — a nice 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.
Montana is one of only a handful of states with no statewide sales tax, so everyday purchases don't carry that extra bite. The trade-off is a state income tax, recently simplified toward a two-rate system that tops out under 6%.
No sales tax changes the math on big purchases and business decisions. We factor it into your planning and make sure your Montana return is accurate and on time.
Montana's income tax is the main event, but a couple of other things matter — and a couple of taxes you'd expect simply aren't there. 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 Miles City as it is from Billings. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of Montana, 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.
