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

As an Oregon resident with significant capital gains from selling Portland real estate in 2026, how will the state's tax rate impact my overall tax liability?
Oregon does not have a separate capital gains tax rate; these gains are generally taxed as ordinary income at your regular marginal income tax rate. For 2026, the top individual income tax rate in Oregon is projected to remain at 9.9%, meaning a substantial portion of your capital gains could be subject to this rate. We can help strategize to minimize this impact through deductions or other tax planning methods.
I own a small craft brewery in Bend, Oregon. Beyond federal taxes, what specific state or local business taxes should I be aware of for 2026?
Beyond the Oregon Corporate Excise Tax (if applicable based on your business structure and income), you’ll need to consider the Oregon Corporate Activity Tax (CAT) if your commercial activity exceeds the threshold, which is expected to be around $1 million for 2026. Additionally, local business licenses and potentially specific excise taxes on alcoholic beverages will apply, depending on your production and sales volume.
Can I deduct my contributions to an Oregon College Savings Plan (OCSP) from my state income taxes for the 2026 tax year?
Yes, contributions to an Oregon College Savings Plan (OCSP) are deductible from your Oregon taxable income. For 2026, the maximum deduction is expected to be $5,290 for those filing jointly and $2,645 for single filers, providing a significant state tax benefit for college savings.
