About
Make taxes simple, clear, and trustworthy for everyone.
PalTax was born from founder Phillip Longsworth’s lived experience watching friends, family, and local business owners struggle with taxes they didn’t understand and support they couldn’t trust. He stepped in to help and soon realized the bigger issue: people needed more than just filled-out forms; they needed clarity, guidance, and a trusted advocate. That core purpose shaped PalTax’s values: prioritizing education over confusion, accuracy over stress, and year-round support over last-minute panic. Phillip set out to create a modern, digital first service that empowers individuals and small businesses from Los Angeles to Long Beach to feel confident and in control, rather than overwhelmed.
