I saw your ad on Portland TV News Channel 8 - KGW and am wondering how much your services cost.  I owe a little over $17,000 to the IRS.  I'm on unemployment right now and have 2 renters to help me with my mortgage, etc.  The problem started when I previously worked for employers/friends for about 3 years who didn't take taxes out - 'contract employee'.  

I was/am being foreclosed on and in the process of trying to save my home.  Because of that I had to get all of my back taxes done.  I was sad and shocked with the charges and fees I owed!!  I even had money coming back from previous years but waited too long to send my taxes in so wasn't eligible to get the returns owed to me... I am trying to stay afloat and afford my childhood home. I'm single and I have been very depressed since my mom died in 2004.  My brothers and I are estranged because they wanted me to sell the home instead of trying to purchase it.  That's no good excuse for not doing my taxes but that's what happened. I put my head in the sand about my taxes and should have faced them before I did!  I'm on a payment program with Oregon Dept of Revenue ($85.00/month) and now I have to deal with the $17,000 + owed to the IRS.  They want a $291 a month payment and I can't afford that.  I don't know which way to turn and am embarrassed I put it off this long.

Any advice would be welcome -
