Present Duties
The Board of Tax Practitioners protects Oregon consumers by ensuring Oregon tax practitioners are competent and ethical in their professional activities. The board accomplishes its mission by issuing license credentials, conducting a program of examination and continuing education, and by consumer awareness and compliance enforcement activities. All persons who prepare, advise or assist in the preparation of personal income tax returns for a fee must be licensed. Licensed Tax Consultants have proven their competency through experience and examination to the extent they can be in their own office. Licensed Tax Preparers are apprentice-level practitioners who must work under supervision of Licensed Tax Consultants.
