Take a Deep Breath....
Taxes can be confusing, especially if you have a complicated situation. There are a few things you can do to make tax season a little less stressful.1) Hire a Tax Specialist - sometimes, it pays to have someone look over your information and prepare your taxes for you. You may owe a lot less than you think if you know where to look - and a reputable tax specialist can help you get the best return, or reduce the amount that you owe by a substantial amount.

2) Start Early - Common sense, but it is so often overlooked. What can cause an immense amount of stress is doing your taxes all at once, right before the deadline. Start getting your documents together early so you can take your time with your taxes. Starting your taxes on April 10th is going to cause you stress, so why not start it now, and get it over and done with?
3) Don't just rush into it - Take your time to collect all the documents you need before you start filing. This will reduce the time you spend doing your taxes, and also reduce your stress levels.
4) Finish Early - Try to finish a week or so before the 15th. This will give you time to look over your documents, and see if there are any errors in your taxes. The worst feeling is filing and then finding a mistake! Make sure you finish early to reread everything you have filled out.
5) Stay on task - It's ok to take breaks, but make sure when you are doing your taxes, you are focusing solely on that. Multitasking increases the risk of making a mistake on your forms. Focus, and it will be done in no time!
6) Relax - If you find yourself stressing while you are doing your taxes, if you started early, don't be afraid to relax. If you have time, take your time!
7) Take a break - If you are stressing out, it is not going to help you finish your taxes any quicker, and it increases your changes of making a mistake. If you feel like you are getting overwhelmed, go for a walk, talk to a friend, or exercise to reduce your stress levels.
8) Call a specialist if you have questions - It is a lot easier to fill something out right the first time. If something doesn't make sense to you, just call a tax company. They will point you in the correct direction. Knowing that you have a professional helping you can help relieve stress.
