BREAK UP WITH TURBOTAX: WORK WITH A LOCAL COLORADO CPA EXPERT!
Are you tired of second-guessing every number you type into TurboTax? Do you wish you could just hand your tax return to someone who can get it done in 48 hours and is a reliable and local CPA without paying hundreds of dollars more? Our Easy File 1040 Service by Balanced Equation is the stress-free, done-for-you tax service designed for professionals, couples, individuals, and families who want their taxes done correctly and fast at an affordable flat rate.
A 1040 is the standard tax form most U.S. taxpayers use to report their income, deductions, and credits to the IRS each year. It determines how much tax you owe or how much of a refund you’ll receive. In short, it’s the form that summarizes your entire tax year in one place.
For just $350, your simple tax return is completed by Jackie Compton, owner of Balanced Equation, a reputable local Colorado CPA. Her team will prepare and she will review the 1040, and deliver and file it within just 48 hours — guaranteed!

Why Turbo Tax Falls Short
If you’ve ever used a corporate tax platform like Turbo tax, you know the feeling: you spend hours typing in numbers, double-checking forms, and clicking through endless confusing questions only to wonder, “Did I do that right?”
When you finally try to ask a question or get help, the pop-up says “Talk to a CPA for an additional fee.” You never know who’s reviewing your return, and the more you need help, the higher your total cost climbs.
Our Easy File 1040 Service takes the uncertainty and confusion out of the tax filing process. We’re a Northern Colorado–based CPA firm (also serving clients remotely across the U.S.), so you know exactly who is preparing your taxes & you can actually talk to us!
No hidden fees, no upsells, no mystery tax preparers.
