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 quickly saw a larger problem: people didn’t just need forms filed — they needed clarity, guidance, and someone on their side.That “why” shaped PalTax’s values: education over confusion, accuracy over stress, and year-round support over last-minute panic. Phillip envisioned a modern, digital-first service where individuals and small businesses — from Los Angeles to Long Beach — could finally feel empowered, not overwhelmed.
