tax season

The time of year from early January to April 15th when public accountants are busy preparing and filing tax returns for their clients.

The time of year from early January to April 15th when families and friends of public accountants are abandoned or left to fend for themselves.

Tax season is in full swing. I won't see much of my husband until April 15th.

My husband is so busy and brain-drained during tax season that he doesn't do anything but vegetate or sleep on his day off!

tax widow/widower

The spouse or significant other of a public accountant.

Typically, a tax widow or widower doesn't see or spend time with their spouse or significant other from early January to April 15th since they are busy doing everyone else's tax returns during that time.

I hate being a tax widow/widower. My spouse is so busy doing everyone else's tax returns that he/she doesn't have time to do ours!
