Here at ATBS, we understand that tax season is no joke. However, we decided to lighten the mood by coming up with a list of our Top 10 Jokes for Tax Season. Each joke has a link to more information (serious stuff!), so while you are laughing you can still learn a little something along the way!

4) Worried about an IRS audit? Avoid what's called a red flag. That's something the IRS always looks for. For example, say you have some money left in your bank account after paying taxes, that's a red flag. (Jay Leno)
3) When it comes to taxes, there are two types of people. There are those that get it done early, also known as psychopaths, and then the rest of us. (Jimmy Kimmel)
