I actually haven't done my taxes in like 2 years due to extreme poverty (in the u.s you don't have to file if your income is under a certain threshold) I think I'm still under that, but I still should probably file this year right? Is there anything specific I should do? Maybe not the best place to ask, but I hate financial anything so I'd really appreciate some advice

You don't have to but also if you're under that threshold you would almost certainly be getting a refund of all of the taxes you paid that year. So I highly recommend filing even if you don't need to

First thing would be to figure out if you're still under the limit. If you don't have to do them, don't do them.

If you are over the limit, there are plenty of free options out there to assist. I personally use free tax usa which works for me. It's great if your income just comes from normal sources like a job, it's not as great if you have investment income or things like that.

I think turbo tax has a free version as well if you meet some qualifications. It's a bit simpler to use imo, but Im not a fan of the company

They really do keep it a secret. I've gotten bills saying I don't owe anything more and then bill me for $100 later. I don't understand, but just pay it. It's where the healthcare system learned their math.

Years ago they actually sent me a check because they thought I should have taken a deduction that I didn't. I didn't want to get on a gotcha list, so I sent back a letter explaining that the deduction was not proper for my situation, and they responded that if that was the case, I needed to file an amended return. That was way more energy than I wanted to spend on this issue, so I just ignored the check... until the next year, when they mailed me another one with a tartly-worded form letter about the importance of promptly depositing it, and again the year after. At that point I figured if Uncle Sam is that desperate for me to take the money I'd indulge him. At this point I'm well past the statute of repose for any potential issues that created, so I think I'm in the clear, but I guess we'll see.
