Oregon has a state income tax, so tax time here means two returns — your federal return and your Oregon return. The upside: there's no sales tax. Compass Tax Center handles both returns, personally, year-round, and 100% virtually. From Portland to Bend to the coast, we're a secure upload and a phone call away.
A federal return and an Oregon return, prepared together so they agree and you claim every credit you're owed. Oregon is one of the few states with no sales tax, but its income tax runs high — which makes getting every deduction right matter more.
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.
Oregon is one of only a handful of states with no sales tax at all. The trade-off is a graduated income tax that tops out near 9.9%, among the highest in the country, plus an estate tax that starts at a relatively low threshold. The Portland area also layers on local income taxes.
Higher rates and local taxes make careful preparation pay off. We make sure your Oregon return — and any Portland-area local piece — is accurate, and we help families plan around the estate tax.
Oregon's income tax gets the attention, but a few 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 Bend as it is from Portland. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of Oregon, your tax help doesn't have to change.
