  3. Thanks for the information. I've gotten myself into a little bit of trouble with taxes and I'm researching the internet for the best course of action to take. I'm trying to see if it is possible to get myself out of trouble with some kind of tax preparer training, or if I need to hire a tax company to aid me.
