<prompt> Human: I understand that Im a moron, and thanks for any advice I can get. Only recently have I made more the 25,000 a year, for the majority of that time I was making 19-24,000 a year. I want to get married next year, and I need to get this cleared up, what should I do?  <response>: Tax attorney here: This is not unheard of or uncommon.If youre owed a refund, we can only go back three years to get it. If you owe the government, the statute of limitations only begins to run once you file, so youre going to owe for all years if thats the case.
