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?

@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.

I’ve been in the bathroom all day, vent
Something I haven’t shared on here is that when I get anxious and my OCD is really bad, I end up spending a lot of time in the bathroom. My family isn’t supportive when it comes to mental health, and I don’t have any privacy at home. So, when I realize my butt is numb for the I don’t even know how many times today, I know I’m not doing okay. :( All my panic attacks happen in the bathroom. Even when I’m out shopping or doing something, I run to the bathroom. It’s like I have an emotional support toilet instead of a support system. I’m crying, feeling so anxious, and I can’t stop doing compulsions that I thought I had gotten past more than a month ago. My streaks are broken, and I feel broken. I want to get out of this bathroom, be normal, and be productive, but I just can’t. I can’t stop crying, and I can’t even breathe properly. I didn’t even realize what time it is, the day is nearly over and I’m still in here :(

Bad spiral
I’m struggling so much in such a state, I’m in a constant loosing battle, I’m bent over crying after self harming because I hate my ocd and how it makes me behave and the way all I ever do is make it worse. I have severe responsibility ocd. I feel so broken I’ve been stuck with this for so long and I’ve spelt my entire adult life like this. I don’t want to be too depressing but I just feel so low and so guilty and so anxious because of the compulsions it makes me do. It’s endless and I’m so so tired

Please help
It’s never been this bad before. I feel like I’ll never get better. Every day I remember new things to feel guilty about and new fears pop into my head. What if I get doxxed? What if I said something online that could get me in trouble? What if I was hacked? What if someone is looking through every post, every message, every account I’ve ever made. I feel like I’ve dug myself into a hole and there is no way out. I’m 21, I keep thinking “no one will have grace for you because of your age. You are an adult. You should have know better. You don’t deserve to get better”
