Pacific Tax West Seattle

Pacific Tax West Seattle prepares individual 1040 income tax returns and plans tax strategy for people who need more than a basic filing. Its tax team focuses on technology professionals with stock compensation such as RSUs, ISOs and ESPP, as well as self-employed sole proprietors and single-member LLC owners. The firm also offers forecasting for passive activity investments, along with help interpreting IRS letters and filing amended 1040X returns.

Meetings can be held in the office or virtually, and clients exchange documents through a secure online portal. Appointments are required, and hours vary by week. Kurt Romischer, who has worked as an income tax accountant for over 25 years, was fully booked for new clients as of this writing, so new clients should check on availability. The firm does not take estate, partnership, S-corporation, C-corporation or nonprofit returns, and the minimum fee for basic preparation is $600. The office is on the second floor of the Waterfront Credit Union building in West Seattle.
