Here are five stress-busting tax time tips:

Get a Head Start- To avoid feeling frazzled, don’t wait until the last minute to file. Instead, get it done early and break the task into small chunks.

Get Organized- Keep all your paper documents in one place- a simple expanding file folder is a great option. Ensure that you also keep your digital documents organized together.

Listen to Music- While you’re getting organized play relaxing songs to keep your stress at bay. Or, if you need a little motivation while filing turn on an upbeat tune.

Take a Break- If you start to feel burnt out while filing, taking a quick 5- to 15-minute break can work wonders. Try taking slow, deep breaths, going for a walk, or eating a healthy snack.

Hire a Pro- If your taxes are complex or you’re worried about making mistakes, hiring a professional can eliminate errors and alleviate stress.
