16 Funny Letter Board Quotes About Paying Taxes

We’ve officially entered tax season. *groan*

We’re sending a special tax season shoutout to our fellow entrepreneurs. If you own your business or have more than one stream of income, we feel your pain. We love what we do, but we definitely don’t do it for the easy tax season!

Whatever type of income you have, it’s time to get out your 1099s or W-2s, your spreadsheets, and all of the itemized receipts you’ve been collecting. Get comfortable, pour yourself a giant mug of coffee, enter all the info… and hope for a great tax return. 

If you ask us, we think wine and chocolate should count as business expenses and we should be able to claim our dogs as dependents. Is that what people mean by tax reform? Because we could get behind those changes.

The good news is, once you’ve put all the info into your tax software or sent it all off to your CPA, you can breathe a sigh of relief and forget that taxes exist for another year! Well… besides the paperwork and organizing that happens all year long in preparation for next year’s tax season.

No one enjoys paying taxes, but we thought we’d lighten things up with some funny tax quotes for your letter board. Cheers to a tax season that’s as painless as possible!
