Portland Loves Their Refunds
I'd been overpaying for years with the big chains. Redwood found credits I never knew about and got me back an extra $1,900. Fast, friendly, and half the stress.
As a freelancer my taxes were a nightmare. They sorted my 1099s, quarterly estimates, and deductions in one sitting. I actually understand my taxes now.

Got an IRS letter and panicked. Redwood handled it start to finish and it turned out to be nothing. Having someone in your corner is worth every penny.

How much does it cost to file with Redwood?
A single flat fee based on the complexity of your return, quoted up front before we start any work. No hourly billing, and never a percentage of your refund. A simple W-2 return starts low; we'll give you an exact price with your free quote.
How fast can you file my return?
Most personal returns are ready to review within 48 hours of receiving your documents. During the busiest weeks of tax season it can take a little longer, but we'll always give you a clear timeline up front.
I'm self-employed / have 1099 income. Can you help?
Absolutely — it's one of our specialties. We handle 1099s, business deductions, quarterly estimated taxes, and self-employment tax so you keep more and stay compliant.
What if I have several years of unfiled returns?
We help clients catch up on back returns all the time. We'll figure out what's missing, file the prior years, and sort out any refund you may still be owed or balance you need to resolve.
