Readers' Choice: Best Place to Do Your Taxes (At the Last Minute) In Port Chester

Where will you get your taxes done this year?

Granted we do have a whole two extra days this year since the dreaded traditional T-Day of April 15 falls on a Sunday and Monday is a holiday in Washington, D.C.

So April 17 it is, which doesn't make it that much better. We have only a few weeks to deal with the pile of forms, the fees, the stressful mess of tax-time. Or maybe it isn't any hassle for you since you have found such a pleasant, all-knowing accountant. Assuming you're not crazy enough to DIY, where do you go?

What's the best last-minute tax office around? Make that appointment, pronto, and report back on why you like your accountant so much.

If we're missing someone here, please let us know so we can add them to the poll. Also, tell others about the experience you've had with local tax preparers.

Linda T., I would guess Mrs. Brakewood lives in Port Chester if she is running for the Port ChesterRead More Board of Ed. Even if the schools had to impose an austerity budget, your taxes would still go up. The state has more control in these matters than you think.

Linda, the per pupil expenditure in PC schools is the lowest in Westchester and Rockland countiesRead More ... by about $2,000 per student. The issue is two fold. First, our property values are not as strong as our neighbors, so our homes have a higher levy in order to fund the schools. Second, and more important, is that the reliance on property taxes slams moderate income communities like PC. We need for the state to move to an income tax to fund schools. Scream at your legislators ... not the BoE.

I am concerned there is not enough attention to detail in the BOE budget overall and Mrs. BrakewoodRead More comment about keeping taxes affordable ... where does she live ? they are out of control and in my opinion the money we pay for taxes we should have the best looking schools anywhere ... just my opinion
