I had to work on it too, but the mindset I fall back on now is that you can start doing it and figure it out along the way. Works for tons of things, from software, to plumbing. Worst case, we can come back later and clean up any mess we made along the way. Best part is, every time you do something new, you get better and the next time is easier. A pet peeve of mine is when people I know say things like "oh I don't know how to do my taxes". Just google it, there are so many great resources and you'll be done in 2 hours. (These are people with 1 state and 1 W-2, nothing complex).
