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]

My extremely old parents with dementia ARE unreliable.

And they did not ever use the internet or email.

I understand it is hard to imagine someone who never used online banking/email/internet, who paid credit cards by phone call and who is at a point that they enjoy nothing beyond ice cream and think their parents are still alive. But that is where we are.

There is no go between.

My parent does not even know what taxes are anymore. All their mail
Comes to me. I scan the tax forms and upload them for tax guy.

I sent forms in Feb. Tax guy did not start until April 14.
