Oregon residents face a unique tax landscape. Unlike many states, Oregon has no general sales tax, but it does levy a progressive state income tax ranging up to 9.9%. Property taxes vary widely across counties and can be a major burden for homeowners, while seniors often ask about available property tax relief programs. Retirees also wonder whether Social Security and pensions are taxed at the state level. At Tax Relief Helpers, our Oregon tax relief lawyers provide trusted guidance to individuals and businesses navigating IRS debt, state tax filings, and property tax issues.
