How do I find a trustworthy accountant (CT)

[Julissa Perez]

Hello Everyone,

I feel silly asking this but I meant what I said when I mentioned I was very very new to this. I am currently deployed and I need a trustworthy accountant from CT to assist me with my taxes this year. I own a single family property with tenants, and this past year I poured a lot of money into the property after I had family cause a lot of damage to it. I also have to cover some of the mortgage every month and I pay the water bill. I'm looking for someone who is familiar with these deductions. I feel if I use the tax software myself I might miss out on things. Can anyone provide some guidance on how I go about finding someone I can trust?
