Music, food, fun...and taxes. Here are five killer ideas for sharing the misery of tax season with your favorite company. Who knows, you may even find a way to make tax season fun.

You don't just promise people a surcease from tax-prep hellishness without giving them the proper atmosphere. Have extension cords and power strips handy for your friends' laptops (we like these), secure home Wi-Fi, and plenty of bum-cushioning, like bean bags and cushions. Remember to make room for food, drinks, and volumes of paperwork. Soothing music optional; streamers essential.
