TaxAct Launches National Admin Night on April 8

TaxAct®, a prominent provider of tax software in the United States with over 111 million filed returns since its inception in 1998, has declared April 8 as National Admin Night. This new initiative invites Americans to come together with friends and family to tackle their pressing tasks, particularly the vital task of filing taxes ahead of the looming deadline on April 15.

Recent surveys indicate that many Americans delay essential chores, particularly tax filing, with a startling 56% admitting to postponing personal administrative tasks. Recognizing this trend, TaxAct aims to provide a supportive environment for individuals, encouraging them to confront their to-do lists collectively. As Mike Wolfe, VP of Brand Marketing at TaxAct, stated, "Tackling things you'd rather not do but can't put off is easier when you do it with people you trust in a fun and engaging setting.”

Embracing the Procrastination Challenge

TaxAct’s move comes at a time when national anxiety surrounding tax filing is palpable. Findings from their latest survey reveal that 30% of respondents regularly delay their tax submissions. Compounding this procrastination, 19% of adults expressed uncertainty regarding their tax returns this year, and 11% foresee owing more in taxes compared to previous years. The company’s goal is to help alleviate this burden by facilitating a community-centered approach to tax preparation.

Not only has TaxAct recognized that many Americans avoid tax-related tasks due to emotional overwhelm, but they’re also capitalizing on a recent cultural trend—admin parties. Birth of these events can be traced back to innovative individuals who first coined the term
