<prompt> Human: I havent filed taxes for the past three years and figure its about time to get my life together and sort these financial issues out. Ive been working freelance on and off less than 2kyr and had a steady salary job during these three years.I havent been contacted yet by the IRS which i figure is good because if i owed them a descent amount of money they would have found me by now i imagine. I know its probably hard to say but do you guys have any idea of late penalties, fines, ect... that will go along with the catching up on things? or just general things to know when filing late taxes?  <response>: If you had a regular W2 job during this time, theres a decent chance youre actually owed money. If you do owe any, I bet its a pretty small amount. You can submit old tax returns yourself, but Id just find a CPA and have them do it to make sure everything is taken care of correctly.
