<prompt> Human: Title. Have been almost fully employed over the past 5 years as well as being a part-time or full time student. Usually made very low yearly income sometimes as small as 12k, sometimes 25k. Got married last year and Im trying to reconcile my past mistakes and move forward with our finances together starting fresh. I have never filed taxes and have no idea how to even begin starting the process of filing taxes that are over 5 years old. I dont have any of my necessary tax documents W2s and the only ones I know how to get ahold of 1098Ts Im not even sure I can use seeing as how my parents funded my education. My wife makes good money, so I havent worked this last year and have focused on school. Seeing as how we are filing jointly now, I dont want my past mistakes to haunt her finances. Dont even know where to start, any help would be appreciated.  <response>: Find an accountant. Dont do this on your own.
