Speaking with some experience in your situation...the only reason you should be doing tax compliance in your career is if you own the practice and have your own hands on the levers of workload. I started having your exact experience just a couple years into my career. I hit the eject button and got into a different area of accounting.

If you can't do the same I don't have any advice for you, friend. Everyone who stays long enough has it take over their lives (and marriages).

Reading between the lines (and I may be wrong here), based on what sounds like a high volume of returns, you might even be doing multi-state tax compliance for state & local income and franchise tax from within a public accounting firm. If you're really doing this...man. Accountants are the janitors of the white collar world, and right now, you're the janitor's janitor, unclogging shitty toilets with your bare hands for a pittance. I can't be sure this is what you're doing, so I'd be happy to be wrong.
