As title says, past two years I didn't submit my taxes- Was very emotionally overwhelmed, essentially had a sibling who was dying, it was incredibly stressful and I was in a grad program...managed to complete the grad program and be there for family, but just could handle getting it done for some reason(not knowing what i was supposed to do with grad loans and stuff probably was a piece). Now, I'm trying to get it together especially before this next years are due. Any advice, anyone been in a situation like this before? Am I totally fucked? I also pulled money out of a retirement account to pay bills, and think I ended up paying taxes 2x on it- again, any advice? Anyone know how to go about trying to recover from a screw up like this?

Do you think the free tax help prep places are running this early in the season?

Idk but only one way to find out, start googling and calling around your area. You're definitely not the first person to be in this situation. Take heart. Just searching "I haven't filed my taxes in 2 years America" turns up all kinds of resources. The important thing is not to just procrastinate and avoid the issue. The irs won't forget and it will get worse. It's better to do these things on time but 2 years is not that much of a delay, especially since it sounds like you weren't making much at the time anyway. Don't wait until April, start figuring it out now
