We’re a little more than three weeks from the April 15 filing deadline, and many of us have stopped taking new appointments and are working feverishly to finish tax returns on our desk while preparing extensions and first quarter estimate calculations.
I have no doubt that you’re tired, possibly running short on patience, and counting down to your own retirement. I know that’s how I feel every year at this time. So, instead of my usual snarky Tribune articles, I want to offer a word of encouragement. Keep pushing hard, you’re almost there. I know you can make it and finish strong in the process.
Remember to take a deep breath and face today’s challenges directly and confidently. You don’t have to be perfect; we all make mistakes (some more embarrassing than others). When you get home late tonight, give your loved ones a big hug and kiss, share a good meal, get a little exercise, maybe watch something on TV that makes you laugh, and let’s beat tomorrow’s tasks together.
