Thank you for your insight, I wish it was that simple but it’s not. I think I’ve made big mistakes or possibly worse. I’m literally curled up in a ball right now crying.

Also sending you strength to fight the OCD and comfort for the overload of discomfort you’re already feeling. If you like dogs, mine sends you snuggles. (And he’s hung out with my mom while she’s done work, so by osmosis and puppy power, maybe he’ll tell the universe to help you out. ??)

@ARTnotOCD Thank you so much, we just adopted a puppy, 5 month old Lab/Coonhound. I love to watch him when he lying in the grass outside sniffing the air and listening to the birds, it’s calming

@Fear Strikes Out I grew up with a Lab, he was amazing and so lovable, his name was Trooper. Our new dog came with the name Cooper, Lol. He might be trooper reincarnated ??

@phoenix76 That's a great story. Our lab just turned 1 year old two weeks ago. She is the bestest!

Remember that your OCD makes it seem worse. Share your worries with your accountant, even about past returns. The worst that will happen is that you might owe more. But that’s probably not the case since you’ve done this with the help of an accountant years before. Taxes seem way more complicated than they are when you just read the tax laws. (They are probably also way more complicated than they need to be, but that’s in with the law makers.).

Listen.... You are not going to go to jail over taxes. The worst they will do is penalize you with a fine and even then you can set up a payment plan.

Honestly, this is an ideal situation where applying your ERP tools whereby you lean into the uncertainty of not knowing one way or another whether you will be audited in the future? You do it all the time in other parts of your life. The fact that this is taxes is no different.

I know what you mean. My mom is a CPA, so I always wanted her to double check with everything, every time I did them. It can seem so scary. But luckily she was not willing to feed the OCD beast and only answered questions I didn’t actually know, like if I was eligible for an education deduction or if she had already claimed it since she had set up the education fund and was therefore paying for it. Fast forward, and now I was able to be the one just spouting out the answers to reassure my non-OCD husband last night. Making a simple mistake on taxes isn’t the same thing as knowingly committing fraud. You got this!!!

Just think of all of the mental health crises the income tax system causes. ?

Could you have an accountant look over your returns for the last three years and then, if even necessary, file an amended return for that year?

Do you typically itemize or take the standard deduction?

We are going to an accountant to file our returns, we take the standard deduction but don’t have good records so I’m screwed. This is so bad

If you are taking the standard deduction, what records are missing? Do you mean copies of prior year returns?
- Date posted

@Fear Strikes Out No, I mean like mileage logs, we’ve always filed so I have all my returns

@phoenix76 I don't want to get too far into the weeds here because I am not a tax expert. But, aren't mileage records for only if you are itemizing and not taking the standard deduction?

@Fear Strikes Out I’m not sure, the info online is very confusing. I’m assuming they want you to keep a log of all mikes driven for business for your business vehicle. Just reading consequences for doing this wrong is awful

@phoenix76 I know I’m seeking reassurance, but I don’t know what to do. It’s not like it’s just an OCD thought, this is a real life occurance

@phoenix76 Do you have to file a schedule other than a 1040A for your business expenses?

@phoenix76 Fortunately, the accountant will correct what needs to be changed, if anything.

Everyday just gets worse and worse and there’s no way to escape the cycle. This constant feeling of dread and guilt I can’t stand it. I have no one to talk to about any of this because I have a fear of them thinking of me different and I don’t like putting my problems on people it just makes me feel like I want attention or something like even when I’m writing this paragraph. I’m stuck in a constant loop. Constant aggressive thoughts and compulsions. I’m 18 and I don’t know about any of my insurance or anything so I can’t get a therapist on here and I really don’t wanna talk to my mom about any of this. I dread having to wake up everyone morning and continue with this shit all day every day. I hate complaining but I just can’t stand this. I don’t know what to do. I’m slowly losing every inch of my mind.

TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me

I’ve been going through this rough patch for the last four months, and I can already feel an even worse one coming. I just feel scared. And on top of that, I’m going to stop therapy. After everything with my current therapist, I just don’t have the strength to keep trying anymore. I feel hopeless. My head hurts so much, and it’s hard to keep going when everything feels this bad. I just want to cry, hope this feeling passes, and maybe try again if it ever lets up. But right now, it feels like nothing will ever get better. I don’t feel like I can ask for help. I hate that it took me so long to realize this wasn’t the therapist for me. I was too scared of being dramatic, so I let it go on for far too long, and now I feel like I’ve just become a burden-like. I hate that I let it get to that point, especially when I was paying for this. I just want to give up. I feel broken down, and I don’t even want to be okay anymore.
