Where is the best place in Deerfield to get help preparing your income tax return? Patch wants to know because the best place for tax preparation is the latest installment of our Readers’ Choice series. If you haven’t started yet, there is plenty of help around the Village. In fact, there are 36 companies in Patch’s business listings to help. All you have to do is go to the listing directory, take a look at the firms and their reviews. Then pick one. Since there are so many possibilities and people can be fiercely loyal to their accountants or tax preparers, Patch is departing from its usual method of selecting a winner with a poll and choosing the top enterprise based on who has the most comments and best reviews.

Late entrant races ahead of the field.
Deerfield Community Nursery School was a late entrant into Patch’s Readers’ Choice series this week but dominated the field as the best place for children once it was added to the poll.

Patch continues its Readers’ choice Series with the best place for children in town.
Since Patch began its Readers’ Choice series a month ago, we have learned what people in Deerfield like best about a number of things like Italian food and their favorite green beer for St. Patrick’s Day.

We know parents prioritize different things when choosing a place to entrust their children, so we also want to know why you think your choice is the best. Do they have the most caring instructors?

The day for green beer arrives in Deerfield and Highland Park Saturday giving Patch readers the opportunity to vote for their favorite St. Patrick’s Day spot this week. As part of the Best of Patch series, readers can pick between Trax Tavern in Deerfield, Norton’s in Highland Park and Bridie McKenna’s in Highwood as their favorite place to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day.
