Certified Financial Planner & Tax Professional
My name is Forrest Baumhover. After a rewarding 24-year career in the United States Navy, I became a financial planner. After starting my own financial planning firm, I merged with another financial planner and became a partner in an SEC-registered investment advisory firm. I sold my partnership stake in that firm to focus on creating online content focused on helping people better understand tax forms. Whether it's an online article or a walkthrough video on YouTube, my goal is to help make this content accessible to everyone, regardless of your level of experience. Helping people navigate difficult-to-understand parts of the Internal Revenue Code is my goal, and I hope to achieve that goal here!
