North Dakota has a state income tax, so tax time here means two returns — your federal return and your North Dakota return. The good news: the rates are among the lowest in the country, and many residents pay little or nothing to the state. Compass Tax Center handles both returns, personally, year-round, and 100% virtually.
A federal return and a North Dakota return, prepared together so they line up and you claim every credit you're owed. North Dakota cut its income tax so sharply that many residents now owe little or nothing to the state — but the return still has to be filed 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.
In 2023, North Dakota overhauled its income tax, zeroing out the bottom bracket and dropping the top rate to around 2.5% — among the lowest in the nation. A large share of residents now owe no state income tax at all, and everyone else pays very little.
Even at $0 owed, the return often still has to be filed to make it official. We confirm where you land under the new rules and make sure your federal and state returns agree.
North Dakota's very low income tax is the headline, 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 Williston as it is from Fargo. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of North Dakota, your tax help doesn't have to change.
