Death and taxes aren’t only certain, they also seem to share a same deadline in the U.S., according to a study that points to the role of stress in fatal accidents.

Deaths from traffic accidents around April 15, traditionally the last day to file individual income taxes in the U.S., rose 6 percent on average on each of the last 30 years of tax filing days compared with a day during the week prior and a week later, according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Even allowing Americans to file their taxes electronically hasn’t negated the crash trend, lead researcher Donald Redelmeier said. The findings suggest stress, lack of sleep, alcohol use and less tolerance to other drivers on tax deadline day may contribute to an increase in deaths on the road, Redelmeier said.

“An increase of risk in this magnitude is about the same as what we observe on Super Bowl Sunday, a time notorious in the U.S. for drinking and driving,” said Redelmeier, a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto in Canada, in an April 6 telephone interview.

The research showed that there were 226 fatal crashes for each of the 30 tax days and 213 fatal accidents for each of the 60 control days.

  1. Taxgoonophobia, the fear of tax goons emptying your bank account or putting liens on your property, it’s a common ailment DUH.

  2. Let’s see…I do not drive nor do I file illegal federal income tax forms. Enjoy the 15th, American sheep.

  3. If you thought crashing your car into a bridge to kill yourself will get you out of paying the IRS think again. The IRS will just come after your spouse.

  4. Our society is definitely collapsing, physically and economically.
    We are heading back to a more simpler times.
