Debra A. McKinney, Enrolled Agent, Licensed Tax Consultant
Debra grew up in Sweet Home, the youngest of 4 daughters. She worked many years as a bookkeeper for private industry, in a CPA office, as well as in a school district. Her cousin is Peggy Dooley, formerly a State Board member. With Peggy's encouragement, Debra became licensed while living in Medford in 1991, and later joined Peggy in her tax business in 1998. It was through Peggy's mentoring that Debra gives the credit for her success today.
Debbie is an E.A. and L.T.C. and has taught Basic Income Tax for several years. Two of those years her pass ratio was 100% and another year it was 80%. (The state average is 68%). She has also been teaching at the OATC and OSTC Chapter levels for continuing education, as well as at OSTC 2005 and 2011 Conventions and 2006 Spring Fling. Several years she has taught LTC Prep Classes. September 2006 she taught the Back to Basics Seminars around the state, and in May 2008 she taught the Safety Net Seminars. These were sponsored by State Oregon Association of Tax Consultants (OATC). Her love is teaching and she is expanding into more opportunities around the state.
She served as 2nd VP of the Mid-Willamette Chapter of OATC for four years, and was 1st VP for two years. For 4 years she served as State Education Chair for OATC, and is currently State SOP's and ByLaws Committee Chair.
Debra owned her own tax preparation business in Corvallis until recently, and now works for a CPA office in Lebanon. She was awarded the Exemplary ERO for Oregon for 2000 by the IRS. She has also been asked by IRS to sit on a Panel of Experts at one of their seminars. At the OATC convention in 2007, she was honored with the Margaret Sills Award...a very special award to people who have given of themselves to the organization.
Her husband, Bill, is also an LTC, EA. She has four grown children, and four wonderful grandchildren! She is very involved in her church, volunteering as their Treasurer and occasionally teaching adult Sunday school classes.
