Home of Rick Balvanz's Income Tax Site


I have been doing my own taxes since I started working full time back in 1968. Taxes, among other things, were a lot simpler then. As I got older, I started doing a few friend's tax returns and now have grown it into a nice little home business. I'm not a big time tax consultant but I am here all year long in case you ever have any problems or questions about your tax returns.

I prefer to work by appointment and gather the information I need to complete your taxes but I can if time permits, do them "on the spot". I am also an IRS authorized e-filer. Check it out by going to the IRS home page and search for an authorized e-filer in the 52253 zip code.
