In our research in collaboration with our EPS edge CRM software database, we discovered Seattle ranking as the #1 city in America for unfiled tax filers — meaning tens of thousands of taxpayers in your area, are behind, or have unfiled taxes every year. If you're one of them, Trust Fund Family Taxes is here to help.

We were able to gather specific details about tax laws in your area, which should help reduce any anxiety you may have before reaching out, as there may be factors that have led to the large consensus locally from filing.

While Washington State has no state income tax, we understand Seattle-area taxpayers often have complex federal situations. For instance, you may be a tech employee at a major Seattle employer, who frequently receives restricted stock units (RSUs), stock options, and bonuses that require careful reporting. As a result, you may have carefully waited, out of wanting the best tax firm like us, to carefully handle your taxes. Of course, no one wants overpayments, nor IRS notices.

Seattle's gig economy is among the largest in the U.S. Meaning, if your a rideshare driver, freelancer, content creator, or any type of independent contractor, you’ll file as self-employed.

This group could attribute to the cities high ranking of unfilers; who most likely have been unable to find the correct guidance — discovering they owe self-employment tax and must handle quarterly estimated payments. If you’re a first-time self-employed taxpayers, it could also catch you off guard when tax season arrives, and you didn’t expect to need better tax guidance.
