Gutierrez joins Tax Examiners Board

Jess Gutierrez

Jess Gutierrez, President of Pacific Northwest Tax Service, has been appointed to serve on the Oregon Board of Tax Service Examiners. The Board is responsible for oversight of all Licensed Tax Preparers and all Licensed Tax Consultants within the state of Oregon. They are responsible for testing, licensing and supervision of the tax preparation industry.

The Tax Board is made up of seven members. All are appointed by the Governor for five-year terms. Six members are active in the tax preparation industry and one is from the general public.

Oregon is unique within the US in that it is the only state with any form of testing requirement. California is the only other state to license preparers, but they do not have a testing requirement. All preparers in Oregon must be licensed unless they are working directly under the supervision of a CPA.

In addition to offering full-service tax preparation and bookkeeping services, Pacific Northwest Tax conducts Tax School, where students from all backgrounds can learn tax preparation, and professionals can get Continuing Education courses needed to keep their license current. More information is available at pnwtax.com or by calling 503-646-5600.
