Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Oregon Kicker? +

When Oregon collects more tax revenue than projected, the surplus is returned to taxpayers as a credit on their state return. 2025 is a kicker year—your credit is based on a percentage of your 2024 Oregon tax liability. We'll make sure you claim it correctly.

What's new for 2025 taxes? +

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act brought several important changes for 2025, including new deductions for tip income, overtime pay, and an enhanced deduction for seniors 65 and older. Combined with the Oregon Kicker credit, there's a lot to take advantage of. We stay current on all changes so you don't have to.

How long does it take to get my return done? +

Most returns are completed within two weeks of receiving all your documents. During peak season (February-April), it may take a bit longer. Complex business returns may need additional time.

Do you work with clients outside Oregon? +

Yes! As an Enrolled Agent, I'm federally licensed to prepare taxes for clients in any state.

Why Cherry Blossom Tax? +

Salem is known as the Cherry City, and cherry blossoms bloom right as tax season gets into full swing each spring. It felt like a natural fit.

What payment methods do you accept? +

We accept payment through our secure client portal via credit card, debit card, or ACH bank transfer.

What are the typical pricing ranges for tax services? +

W-2 Employee returns start at $125 for single filers with standard deduction. Married Filing Jointly is $350 with itemizing deductions. Tax credits add $150. Business schedules (Schedule C, E, or F) are each priced separately. Bookkeeping starts at $200 monthly or $400 quarterly. Business returns (Partnerships, S-corps, C-corps) start at $1,000+. Advisory and representation pricing varies based on scope.

What business structures do you work with? +

We work with S-Corporations, Partnerships & Multi-Member LLCs, Single-Member LLCs, and sole proprietors. Services include Form 1120-S, Form 1065, Schedule C preparation, and entity structure optimization.
