Question

Filing Taxes for 2001-2004


What is the name of your state? I am currently out of the country right now, so don't have a state. I just need a general advice that is applicable to any state. Thanks.

Since 2002, after a huge company layoff, I have been alternating between unemployment and underemployment. I have been moving in and out of the country and states too frequently, so I lost tracks of all the companies I had worked in and my W2's. I have not filed any tax return since 2002. Right now, I want to catch up with my tax returns for 2002, 2003, and 2004. I am not even sure if I filed my tax for 2001.

So, how can I find out my tax situation? Should I call up the IRS? Where can I get old tax forms? Where can I get all my old W2's?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

You can write to the IRS or drop by the nearest office to request transcripts for the tax years you need, and use that information to file your returns.

Total worldwide income is taxable if you are a US citizen or green card holder. If you lived in a state that had state income taxes, you will have to file state taxes for that time period as well.

We don't care where you are, but you'll get better advice here if you indicate a state.
