Why Millennials Hate Tax-Season More Than Others

26th February 2016

Read it.

Political irony is the best irony: while many millennials are flocking to vote for Bernie Sanders, a man who brashly argues in favor of raising taxes, the same constituency seems to fear tax-season.

USA Today reports “a survey of 1,600 U.S. adults found that 80% of taxpayers’ ages 18-34 (the millennial generation) who filed taxes last year and plan to file this year say they’re fearful about some aspect of preparing their taxes. That’s the highest of all the age groups.

Perhaps it’s because millennials have never learned basic If-This-Then-That in school.

There are some serious reasons why millennials fear tax-season, as the USA Today continues: “Almost a quarter (22%) of those nervous Millennials say their biggest worry is making a mistake on their returns.” As they should, one mistake on your tax forms and you could be audited, jailed, or labeled as a good-for-nothing-tax-dodging-cheat who should be burned at the stake in one of Sanders’ next stump speeches. Who can handle that type of pressure?

Well, I can, but then I’m an MBA.

    Plus tax forms contain all those ‘maths’.

    You are an MBA or you have received an MBA?

    A fine point. I have received an MBA; whether that makes me an MBA is less certain.
