What is the name of your state? California

Hello, I started a corporation a few years ago. The partner doing the books passed away in the first 6 months, and it looks like he never finished our incorporation. Since then, we've been operating with a business account at Bank of America and I've just found out that we have not even filed taxes for 3 years!

What do we do?

We received a request from the California Sec of State for the first year's filing fee, but NOT any of the subsequent years. Our info is not on file, yet we did receive a temporary EIN number which is what we used to open the account with.

Is anything being reported to the IRS? Does it look like we're laundering money?! :)
