Have you heard of these terms?
• Tax anxiety,
• Tax-related phobia, and
• Taxaphobia.
If you haven’t, don’t worry, I had to look them up too. Recently, I was reminded that many good people with an honest intention to file their taxes simply can’t. Why? Anxiety or phobia. This is not laziness. From what I have read The Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) does not recognize "taxaphobia" (the intense fear of taxes or tax season) as a clinical mental health disorder. If you are curious about CPA definitions of Phobia you can read an article here: https://cpa.ca/psychology-works-fact-sheet-phobias/
Back to taxes. If you, or someone you know, hasn’t filed in awhile – we can help. We won’t judge. We will walk you through what you need to file. Whether it’s a year behind or 10 years behind.
No matter where you live in Ontario we can always meet over Zoom.
