<prompt> Human: I dont have any clue how to tackle this. We went to the IRS and got info going back to 2009. We went to HR block and were told it would be between 250-300 per year to prepare and file. She has some self-employment income in the years prior to 2015 but made less than 15,000 in all of those years. In 2015 and 2016, had she filed, she would have been do a refund. 1500-1800 to have them prepare it seems crazy but at the same time I dont know how to do it myself. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  <response>: I would reach out to a CPA, they know the tax law WAY better than HR Block and are usually cheaper. I have a house and other things I claim so I do a longer form than just the 1040 and I only pay a little over 100 per year to get my taxes filed.If youre in MN, I have a GREAT one to recommend.
