The job of a tax lawyer is just as stressful as an accountant - I should know - I am both.

In a large corporation I spent time in, there are tax lawyers and there are tax accountants. The tax lawyers do the planning, the tax accountants do the bookkeeping and compliance filing. There are grey areas, of course, but the planning is much more glamorous, the compliance and bookkeeping was considered to be pretty boring. It was no secret that the tax lawyers in planning had it pretty nice.

It depends on whether you do tax litigation. If your practice is a pure tax advisory, then your work is not much different from that of an accountant (some tax lawyers actually sit for CPA exams, many do it while still in law school). Litigation changes things a bit; you no longer have the April 15 crisis, you have multiple case-specific crises.
