Portland taxes are not like anywhere else

Metro Supportive Housing Services tax
A regional personal income tax for higher earners and a business income tax for larger businesses in the Metro district.
Multnomah County Preschool for All
A county personal income tax for residents and people who work in the county above set income levels.
City and county business taxes
The City of Portland Business License Tax and Multnomah County Business Income Tax, filed on one combined return.

What people ask before getting in touch
Something else on your mind? Add it in the last step of the quote form.
How much does a CPA cost in Portland?
It depends on the work. A single personal return with a W-2 and some investment income is a much smaller job than monthly bookkeeping, payroll and an S corp return. Answer a few questions in our quote form and a licensed CPA will look at your situation and give you a fixed fee before anything starts.
Is my request handled by a licensed CPA?
Yes. Every request goes to a licensed Certified Public Accountant in the Portland area who works with your type of return or business. CPAs in Oregon are licensed by the Oregon Board of Accountancy.
Do I need to file Portland and Multnomah County taxes too?
Many people do. Depending on where you live, work and how much you earn, you may owe the Portland Arts Tax, the Metro Supportive Housing Services tax or the Multnomah County Preschool for All tax, on top of your federal and Oregon returns. Businesses can also owe the City of Portland and Multnomah County business taxes. Your CPA will tell you which ones apply.
I live in Vancouver but work in Oregon. Can you help?
Yes. Washington does not currently have a personal income tax, but if you earn wages in Oregon you will usually need to file an Oregon nonresident return. A CPA who handles both sides of the river can make sure that is done correctly.
Can I switch from my current tax preparer?
Yes, and it is simpler than most people expect. Your new CPA will ask for copies of your recent returns and any records they need, and they can usually pick up where your last preparer left off.
Do I need to meet in person?
Usually not. Most clients share documents through a secure portal and talk with their CPA by phone, email or video. If you would rather sit down in person, that can be arranged.
How soon will I hear back?
A CPA will be in touch soon after you send your answers. If you have a deadline coming up, such as the 4/15 filing deadline or an IRS notice with a response date, mention it in the last box of the form so it can be handled first.
