• There are some tax tips that can just as easily
  apply to the professionals involved with other
  peoples taxes, as to the taxpayer themselves,
  and both parties are more than capable of
  succumbing to the stress that often accompanies
  tax season.
• Here are some ways of helping to lower your
  stress levels, whether youre filing your own
  taxes, or filing on behalf of a client
• Stress can lead to confusion and mistakes with
  this in mind, it would seem clear that stress
  should be avoided at all costs, as taxes can be
  confusing enough without the added pressure of
  stress. There are myriad ways of lowering stress
  at tax time but preventing yourself from becoming
  stressed in the first place, seems like the most
  sensible solution.

• If youre a professional involved in accounting,
  then be sure to focus on one client at a time, no
  matter how tempting it may be to have multiple
  files open at one time, and if youre an
  individual filing, then be methodical with your
  work and take breaks if youre struggling to find
  focus or are becoming distracted. Worrying about
  filing on time takes up a lot of brain space, so
  simply get on with what needs to be done and
  dont give yourself a reason to become stressed
  over a deadline.
• Struggling to manage a workload isnt good for
  anyone so always ask for help during tax
  season, and if youre a small business owner
  attempting to file your own taxes, never be too
  proud (or tight fisted!) to seek professional
  help.

• The amount that you pay your tax pro to help you
  with your taxes throughout the year, may well be
  saved at tax time when they pick up on deductions
  that you might not have realized were there, and
  when they help you to meet deadlines that
  previously saw you being penalized for missing.
• Organisation will always minimize stress neatly
  filing your expenses receipts, invoices and other
  essential paperwork throughout the year can cut
  down on time when tax season comes around and is
  always worth doing. Professionals will be able to
  work on their clients tax returns with no
  stoppages due to incorrect filing or
  mismanagement of documents, leading to less
  stress for them and zero stress for the client.

• Try to take major life changes in your stride
  easier said than done, of course, but life throws
  a lot of crap in our direction sometimes, and
  some of these changes to our circumstances can
  affect our taxes. However, if you continue to be
  organized with your filing of paperwork and be
  sure to have documents pertaining to every event
  that may affect your filing status, you cant go
  far wrong.
• There are some of us who will always have
  elevated stress levels during tax season, no
  matter what tips we follow and how organized we
  are, and in these cases, minimizing the degree of
  stress is key. For those of us who ordinarily
  dont suffer from stress, being organized and
  seeking professional help should be enough to
  never see stress rear its ugly head during tax
  season.
