The Health Consequences of the Tax Season Burden

Hopefully you made it through yesterday unscathed, but if you are okay, it's no thanks to the tax laws.

It's tax season in the U.S. again, and when it comes to discussions about the financial burden on the economy from the complexity of the current U.S. tax code, most of the criticisms focus on the number of dollars (or hours) spent in compliance. According to a study from the Tax Foundation, U.S. taxpayers spend over 6 billion hours and over $256 billion working to comply with the current tax code. That's a lot of dollars and hours, but it may pale in comparison to yet another cost: The health consequences of the stress caused by the U.S. tax code.

What are the health consequences of the tax season burden on American taxpayers?
