The List: Free Tax Services

Milpitas Patch now runs a new weekly feature called The List, highlighting editor and reader picks of great local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, ways to spend a day off, and more.   

You’ll find useful lists to help you, your family, friends and significant others find the best places for everything from Sunday brunch to New Year’s Eve celebrations, pumpkin patches, date night destinations, florists, girls night out, kids party places, parks and more. 

With tax season approaching, we thought this list would be helpful.
