@Pheenie_Johnson , even though TurboTax does offer help for somebody to look over your return and help you -- for a, price, my honest opinion from reading your post is that you would be better off going to a tax professional ( a cpa, EA or similar ) to bring you back in compliance. In any case IRS will be paying some attention to your returns for the next couple of years to make sure that you are compliant.
Taxpayer Advocates office gets involved when you have tried to get something resolved with the IRS and is not getting anywhere -- they will come-in and help adjudicate the issue.
If you had only one years worth of taxes to file, I think there should be no reason that you could not do it yourself -- TurboTax makes it very easy.
Based on your post and if I assume that your business was a single member LLC, then you do not file a separate business return for the feds --- this is part of your individual retrun, the business dealing being reported on schedule-C -- single member is considered a disregarded entity ( even with an EIN and employees) for tax purposes.
The trust/Estate settlement is a different matter and very much depends on how the estate/trust documents were worded and the worth of the estate / kind of assets to be disposed of. Again this is not complicated and you may or may not have to file a fiduciary return ( TubroTax Business required ).
Of course we , volunteers can help you , especially on specific areas / questions but to bring you to compliance, you need personal help from from a tax professional ( many of us are retired tax professionals , while others are extremely well versed in the use of TurboTax ).
Is there more I can do for you ?
