This. But it still doesn't make sense. If there is a tax preparer, why is OP acting as the go between transmitting her parents' documents to the tax preparer? This makes it sound like her parents are not particularly competent or reliable. But in that case, why did OP rely on their self-report of what documents they had? I would have logged into OPM with them back in February and made sure we had everything, and then sent to the preparer. Or, alternatively, just let them send the docs themselves and let the preparer deal with it. I'm not clear what the point is of being a go between if you are also just passively going to send along whatever they give you without checking to make sure it's correct or complete. That's the whole point.

To answer OP, yes, I am very tired and burned out and I spend my time doing all kinds of stupid administrative activities. My life often feels joyless and exhausting. But I do try to offload what I can and not take on additional tasks unless it really makes sense for me to do them. I already feel like so burned out from work and parenting.[/quote]

This is a pretty unsympathetic message. I am also tired and worn out, but I'm not going to chastise another person who is feeling the same way. She came here to vent, are there different ways to handle things? Probably. But let's face it, when we get called in to support our aging family - it's often under duress without fully knowing what you are in for - just reacting to a situation trying to met deadlines, figure what is going on all the while managing everything else in our lives. To the OP, I'm sorry you had to go through this. It's not easy, sounds like you could use some sympathy. [/quote]
