17 tax memes that will help you laugh through the IRS-induced tears

Even if you’ve been avoiding it all year, it’s time to face the music and file those taxes. Some of us have waited ’til the last-minute, and some of us got our refunds months ago…but on April 17th, your returns are finally due. Whether you’re taking a trip to an accountant or wrestling with Turbo Tax in the comfort of your own home, it can be a really rough time — even if you don’t owe $$$. Just in case you’re feeling stressed out by it, there are tax memes that could help you remember to smile. After all, we’re in this together.
