Taxes are no laughing matter; there can be some serious consequences for messing up. But that doesn’t mean we can’t joke around a bit to make taxes more enjoyable. Well, that’s pretty much impossible, but there’s no harm in trying with some funny financial quotes.

Our finances are not always in the best place, but funny financial quotes could help wipe away those banking blues. Tax season is a mixed bag. Some of us are out there getting big refunds and using those refunds to buy and do fun things.

Getting those refunds is always fun, and there are obviously reasons to look forward to tax season. But then there’s the rest of us, who are shelling out big bucks to cover our taxes from this year.

Nothing is worse than giving money away and not seeing the immediate return on the investment. Of course, taxes help pay for the infrastructure we enjoy daily; therefore, taxes are necessary.

But that doesn’t make it fun to do them yearly. Not only are we giving up money and not getting anything immediately in return, but we are also putting in a lot of work.

We need to go through our spending over the past year, find write-offs, and just dissect our finances. Nothing is worse than going through our past year with a fine tooth comb and seeing all the mistakes we’ve made or the unnecessary expenses.

Ultimately, doing taxes is not fun and should only be enjoyed by those who either make money from the season or get money back. Everyone else can use laughter; that’s why we need funny financial quotes to help get us through it.

These quotes may help weaken the sting and remind us that we are not alone. There aren’t many who enjoy tax season, but these quotes could change that.

Funny Financial Quotes to get you Through Tax Season

“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

The rest of us. Wouldn’t it be nice if we just didn’t have to pay attention to this part of life? Taxes should be taken out and sent back without us having to do a single thing. You want the money, you do the work.

“Just taught my kids about taxes by eating 38% of their ice cream.” -Conan O’Brien

The saying is, “shit rolls down hill.” Here, we have a perfect example of how parents are paying taxes on their kids but will get it back one way or another. Even in the form of more ice cream.

“What is the difference between a taxidermist and a tax collector? The taxidermist takes only your skin.” -Mark Twain

The tax collector isn’t something we worry about these days. Now they just send you a letter and let you know that they will send you straight to jail unless you give them some money. Isn’t that nice?

“I’m spending a year dead for tax reasons.” -Douglas Adams

Did you know that even if you mark your car as inoperable, you still have to pay a registration fee? Douglas Adams is out of luck because even if we could take a dead year we would still have to pay taxes.

“Isn’t it appropriate that the month of the tax begins with April Fools’ Day and ends with cries of May Day?” -Robert Knauerhase

The irony. Life, like these funny financial quotes is filled with irony. Better to just take the hit on the head and keep it moving. Summer is just around the corner, and then you will have to spend even more money.

“Children may be deductible, but they are still taxing.” 

Some taxes feel like we’re paying for the bad side of the stick. Of course, we love our kids, they are extensions of us, after all. But boy, do they cost a lot of money every single day.

“You don’t pay taxes–they take taxes.” -Chris Rock

They take taxes on just about everything we do. Buy food, give taxes, go on a trip, give taxes, breathe in the air…Well, I guess the air is free, but if a business can charge for it they would.

“What the government gives it must first take away.” -John S. Coleman

You’ve gotta spend money to make money. Unfortunately, it is our money that is being spent. Yes, taxes are necessary, but that doesn’t mean we have to be happy about sending out that cash.

“I shall never use profanity except in discussing house rent and taxes.” -Mark Twain

Even Mark Twain knew there were a few things that deserved profanity. Paying rent is definitely up there, but nothing will beat taxes. Taxes are a part of life, even during the late 1800s.

“Dear IRS, I am writing to you to cancel my subscription. Please remove my name from your mailing list.” -Snoopy

Wouldn’t that be nice? Cancel the IRS bill just like you would Netflix, Hulu, or Max. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. So be sure to pay your tax bill and play the game following their rules.
