The question is why are you helping her with her taxes? You're going through a stressful time at work etc. You don't need to take on more tasks that will stress you out more, especially when your mother is perfectly capable of doing her taxes or accessing free help.

I've been guilty of this in the past. I've been a crutch for family members, cared for them, and put aside my (real but not as drastic) problems to assist them. It got to be too much, and affected my own mental health.

It's great that you help your family members, but I'd advise you to sit down and really think about your current mental health and stress level. You can go to your family members and tell them that you're very stressed right now, you could use their support, and you love them but you cannot do extra things to help them right now, such as taxes and [insert here]. They're your family. If they don't understand or accept your boundaries/limitations, that's a different issue.
