Can a tax deadline evoke fear?
Posted by Kim McGrigg on 3/21/2007

This year, you have two extra days to file and pay your taxes. April 15, 2007 falls on a Sunday, and Monday, April 16, is a legal holiday in the District of Columbia. This means the entire country has an April 17 deadline!

Personally, I am glad the government moved tax day back instead of forward because the next closest workday falls on Friday, the 13th! Speaking of scary things, I found several phobias that you might watch out for during tax time:

Chrometophobia- Fear of money
Numerophobia- Fear of numbers
Papyrophobia- Fear of paper
Peniaphobia- Fear of poverty
Poinephobia- Fear of punishment
Decidophobia- Fear of making decisions
Hypegiaphobia- Fear of responsibility

If you feel all of the above, perhaps you have Phobophobia (fear of phobias).

If you had to pick a new 2007 tax deadline date, what day would you pick and why?
