<human>: So, I have two issues to resolve. First, and less complicated, I have some short-term capital gains from stock sale last year. So my returns aren't going to be simple.

Secondly, I have failed to file taxes for 3 years now. The stupidity of this is not lost on me. During two of those tax years, I was working as an independent contractor. 

H&R block told me it would be $200 ish dollars for the form related to my stock sale, and $300 each for the forms related to my contract work. Is this standard? Or is there a source for tax help that will be less....rapey?

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: I need help with non-standard (back) tax returns and dont want to get raped by h&r block.
