Our offices are open and fully staffed for "take-out" business
The Governor of Oregon is ordering all businesses to provide business services on a take-out style basis. For the safety of our clients and staff, the following protocols will be observed:
- Our lobby is available for drop-off and pickup only. Wear a mask when entering our lobby and limit time inside our offices to 5 minutes or less. One client is permitted in the lobby at a time. If another client is inside, please stay outside and wait for your turn.
- Document delivery: You can use our secure online portal system, or you may drop-off your documents at our office. You can also use mail or delivery service.
- Tax interviews may be conducted via telephone. You may use our online booking system or call our front desk to schedule your telephone appointment. We recommend you deliver your documents a few days before your scheduled telephone appointment. This will allow our staff time to review your documents and complete some data entry prior to your call.
Thank you for your business, we will continue to deliver tax preparation, bookkeeping and payroll services during the Corvid 19 epidemic, and give our best wishes to you and your family during this trying time.

Like most people, you are probably wondering how the new tax laws have impacted you. While many filers can expect to see a small tax savings when they file their 2018 returns, many people will see their tax bills have actually increased. Fewer people will be itemizing deductions on their federal return, however, many will still benefit from itemizing on their Oregon returns. The rules for claiming depedents have changed significantly; some filers will benefit from increased tax savings from their younger children, while people with older children will be worse off.
Our staff are up-to-date on the new laws and will be happy to provide you with information on how they affect your tax situation. We can also advise you on strategies you can take to minimize your tax bill for next year.
Authored and instructed by April Gutierrez, our nationally-recognized online tax education programs are completed by hundreds of CPAs, EAs and other tax professionals each year. Since 2001, graduates of our Basic Tax Course have consistently achieved the highest overall pass-rates at the Oregon Tax Board exams.
