North Carolina has a state income tax, so tax time here means two returns — your federal return and your North Carolina return. Compass Tax Center handles both, personally, year-round, and 100% virtually. From Charlotte to the Triangle to the mountains, we're a secure upload and a phone call away.
A federal return and a North Carolina return, prepared together so they line up and you claim every deduction you're owed. North Carolina uses a single flat rate for everyone, and that rate keeps coming down — we make sure your return keeps pace.
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.
North Carolina taxes personal income at a single flat rate rather than a sliding scale, and lawmakers have set that rate on a steady path downward over the next several years. A flat, falling rate is simpler — but the return still has to be right.
We track where the rate lands each year so your North Carolina return is accurate, your withholding keeps pace, and retirees get the Bailey-settlement break on qualifying government pensions.
North Carolina's flat income tax is the main event, 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 the Outer Banks as it is from Charlotte. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of North Carolina, your tax help doesn't have to change.
