Tax Preparation Services Completed Properly Since 1993
Aapril Tax Service Inc. has been serving downtown Waukegan since 1993. Our first two offices were located in what is now the Genesee Theatre Lobby. We moved into our current location in 1995. In 2005 the building’s facade was updated, as was our office. We are a family-owned and operated business. This allows us to keep our prices reasonable and our service friendly. We are open year-round, although our off-season hours are limited.
