<prompt> Human: I made about 15k as a 1099 employee and about 10k combined at two normal hourly jobsone in a different state, worked in Colorado for 2 month in early 2017. I filed when I was 18 to get a refund and havent since because I thought if you made under a certain amount you didnt have to and figured with how little I was making it didnt matter. Im 23 now and trying to rebuild my credit and get my life under control at least financially and dont want to get tracked down by the Irs..  <response>: You absolutely need to file your taxes. Go see a CPA with documentation of your unfiled income and any business expenses related to the 1099 work.
