Readers' Choice: Southington's Favorite Tax Preparers

Taxes are a tough subject to debate, but in Southington there are a few people whom you trust to prepare them for you.

We all know that no one likes taxes, but our Readers’ Choice poll this week asking for your favorite tax preparers didn't get any love either, with several sites having no nominations for the best place or person to do your taxes.

But in Southington, a little more than a handful of people nominated six of their favorite tax preparers in town that they trust to navigate the tax code and complete the annual mound of paperwork.

Readers Michelle Slimak and Patti Hill highly recommend on Cornerstone Court.

"I do not recommend going it alone to everyone, as one must know how things should look, even when using the easy step-by-step processes offered by any tax software. Sometimes, even the best deductions have to be searched for!" Stanley wrote.

If none of these options suits you perfectly and if you are scrambling to meet the April 17th deadline – that’s right folks you get two extra days this year because the 15th is a Sunday and the 16th is a holiday in Washington DC - Patch has some other suggestions for whom to call.

You can find some more suggestions in the Southington Patch Directory where you can find plenty of registered CPAs and tax preparers.

Best of luck making the tax deadline. See you Monday when Southington Patch asks you to nominate your favorite place to place to buy sporting goods in the region.
