Certainly the accountant will be capable of addressing that.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, in any event, something will be better than nothing, as I would like to mitigate as much as possible the penalties and interest for non-filing. My father has always been very responsible about obligations but in his later years, he just couldn&#039;t keep up with everything and was too proud to ask for help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
