<prompt> Human: I have no real reason for not filing my taxes last year. I have my W2, I had the forms. I tried going through the forms multiple times, step by step, and the numbers just wouldnt come out right. I tossed the papers aside, and just never revisited it. Ive been at the same job for almost exactly two years, and my paychecks are very heavily taxed. I havent received any notices from the IRS about anything. What are my immediate and long term steps in fixing my issue? Do I just fill out last years form and send it in...? I was never taught how to fill the forms out or how to send them in, and all the reasearch Ive done seems to confict in different ways. Please help?  <response>: IRS employee here: What are my immediate and long term steps in fixing my issue? Prepare and file the return.
