Tax Pros Got 99 Stresses, and COVID’s Just One
The term “burnout” isn’t defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders V, but it is generally agreed in the occupational sense to mean a state of chronic work-related stress. After two extended filing seasons; years of deep, complicated, and too-often late or retroactive tax legislation; severely degraded IRS services; angry and confused clients — not to mention a worldwide virus and economic shutdown and restart — tax professionals can be forgiven for some moments of burnout. You may want to let your tax professionals continue to take on this stress for you.
