A tax return to finish. A business to keep on top of. Something in the numbers that does not look right. Day Tax Accounting helps people across Portland with tax preparation, accounting and advice, from our office on SE Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard.
We’ve been serving the Portland area since 1995. Walk in, meet the team and tell us what you need.
We work with many Portland individuals, families and business owners. Some need a tax preparer once a year. Others need bookkeeping, regular advice and someone to call when things change.
Federal, Oregon and applicable local returns for employees, couples, investors and rental owners. We bring the income records together and explain what still needs attention.
Personal tax preparation ↗An accountant for the business you run every day: a shop, practice, trade or independent consultancy. Get help with business returns, owner pay and the numbers behind your decisions.
Small business services ↗Monthly bookkeeping, reconciliations and catch-up work. We help make the accounts usable, so you can see what you earned, what you spent and what is still outstanding.
Bookkeeping services ↗Talk to a Portland tax advisor before a stock sale, business change or a year with unusual income. We review estimates and withholding while there is still time to act.
Tax planning ↗An IRS letter or an unfiled return is easier to deal with once you know the next step. Bring the notice and your filing history so we can review what is required.
Tax relief services ↗Looking for expat tax services in Portland? Tell us where you live, where you earn income and what accounts you hold abroad. We can discuss your US filing needs and any missed foreign reporting.
Discuss international tax needs ↗
You are welcome to walk into our Central Eastside office during opening hours. Bring the question, the letter or the paperwork you have been putting off. We can discuss what help you need and arrange the next step.
Day Tax AccountingMonday–Friday: 9am–5pm PT
Saturday and Sunday: closed.
Meet the team and explain what you need. For a longer discussion or a particular member of staff, calling ahead helps us set aside time.
Last year’s return, the tax notice or a summary of your business is enough to begin the conversation. We’ll explain the next documents we need.
Ask about handling your tax or accounting work remotely. You can still work with the same firm and contact our Portland office.
Local relationships matter when you are sharing your finances. Whether you are bringing in a personal return or asking for ongoing accounting support, our team is here to help you get started.
Meet our team ↗Metro, Multnomah County and the City of Portland have different boundaries and filing rules. We check where you live, where you work and the kind of income you receive.
For tax year 2026, SHS applies to Metro taxable income above $128,000 for single filers or $205,000 for joint filers. Liability depends on residency and income sources. This is a separate local filing, not part of your Oregon return.
For 2026, PFA applies at 1.5% above $125,000 single or $200,000 joint, with another 1.5% above $250,000 or $400,000 respectively. Check county taxable income and the correct filing status. Payroll withholding does not replace a required return.
Portland’s Business License Tax rate is 2.6%; Multnomah County’s Business Income Tax rate is 2%. Registration, exemptions and income allocation need checking separately. Qualifying for an exemption can still leave a filing requirement.
For a nonresident employee, Oregon generally taxes wages for work physically performed in Oregon. Working from home in Washington can change the calculation. Keep a workday record and review any local tax obligations too.
Portland residential rental owners must register their units and may owe a Residential Rental Registration fee. Reporting rental income on your tax return does not complete that step.
Personal tax figures shown are for tax year 2026. These are summaries; residency, filing status, exemptions and the type of income affect the result. Official guidance is linked alongside each topic.
Our local client work spans personal returns, independent businesses and property income. These are examples of the situations we can help you work through.
A Central Eastside maker starts wholesaling. A contractor takes on another employee. A consultant leaves a salaried job. We help turn the transactions into books that support the business return and the next decision.
Business tax preparation ↗A move, an ADU or an inherited property can add a new set of records to your return. We review rental income, expenses and improvement costs, and check whether Portland rental registration needs attention.
Real estate accounting ↗A promotion, consulting income or a stock sale can make last year’s tax payments a poor guide. We help Portland clients review the full picture, including state and local taxes.
Plan your next tax payment ↗When you run a business, the books need to be useful throughout the year. We can help you keep up with the monthly work and make sense of the decisions that come with hiring, growing or changing direction.
Reconcile bank accounts, catch up missing months and review the records behind the figures.
Bookkeeping and catch-up work ↗Get help setting up or reviewing the accounting system you use every week.
QuickBooks support ↗Review the business return, estimated payments and the effect of business income on your personal finances.
Business tax preparation ↗Discuss cash flow, a new hire or a change in structure while you still have time to prepare.

Retirement, an inheritance or a move abroad can change what needs reporting. Tell us before the decision, where possible, so we can review the tax questions with you.
An Oregon estate transfer tax return is generally required when estate assets total $1 million or more and include property taxable by Oregon. An estate or trust may also have separate income tax returns. We help you identify the filing work and coordinate with your legal advisers.
Estate and trust tax services ↗
