<prompt> Human: I started a painting company a few years back, which im the sole proprietor. I subcontract through another company, so i am just labor no material cost or anything. My problem is i never did my taxes. I want to get ahead of this before the government comes after me. I just dont know where to start or what to do? If anyone has tips or advice for where i start anything would be greatly appreciated.  <response>: You should start by saying that this is the year that you get right with the IRS no matter what.
