More than half of Americans experience “filing fear” every tax season, according to new research.
From stressing about starting your taxes in the first place to worrying about whether everything was filled out correctly, a poll of 2,004 American tax-payers, conducted by Talker Research on behalf of banking app Chime, found these feelings of anxiety consume 54% of respondents.
The survey also split respondents by Zodiac sign to see if tax filing habits may be written in the stars. “Filing fear” is especially real for Tauruses, as almost one in five (19%) feel “a lot” of yearly anxiety, compared to just 10% of Aquariuses and Aries.
Perhaps contributing to that stress, almost one in five (16%) Tauruses have previously owed the IRS money that they didn’t have. One in five Scorpios (19%) admit they’ve accidentally filled something out incorrectly before and 15% of Libras have purposely waited until the very last day to file. Another source of tax anxiety may be that 17% of Tauruses wait until April to file their taxes and another 17% admit they typically end up filing later than planned.
