Tax Preparation Services in Oregon
Oregon’s most comprehensive tax preparation for tech professionals, creatives, contractors, healthcare workers, educators, remote employees, retirees, real estate investors, and business owners — serving Portland, Salem, Eugene, Gresham, Bend, Medford, and the entire state.
WHY OREGON RESIDENTS NEED SPECIALIZED TAX PREPARATION
Oregon is one of the most tax-complex states in the West. Even though it has no sales tax, Oregon residents deal with some of the most complicated multi-income tax profiles in the country:
- Tech salaries and stock compensation (RSU, ESPP, ISO)
- Remote-work income from CA, WA, TX, NY, MA, and nationwide employers
- Contractor and 1099 trades income
- Healthcare differential and shift-based pay
- Creative and freelance revenue (design, film, music, art, photography)
- STR and LTR rental income
- University payroll and academic stipends
- Hospitality and tip-based income
- Capital gains on rapidly growing Oregon real estate
- Multi-W-2 households
- K-1 partnership income
- Pension and Social Security stacking for retirees
- IRS notices from stock compensation, rental, contractor, or multi-state errors
- Oregon taxes every dollar of income, including remote-worker income earned in other states.
- A large share of residents have income sourced from multiple states
- Stock compensation is common and frequently misreported
- Rental properties in Portland, Eugene, and Bend often miss depreciation by five to six figures
