I am assuming you never filed in the first place. Just file accordingly and if you are owed a refund you will get it. If you owe them you will also have to pay with interest and fees.

If you already have filed a tax return for that previous year, then you should amend your original return to correct that omission. Form 1040X is Amended U.S. Individual Income Return. You're allowed to amend 3 years after the date of filing your original return or two years after the date of paying taxes, if any, whichever is later. If you haven't filed a return for that year and weren't required to file, then you should file if tax was withheld to receive a refund of that tax.

You should file your income tax returns if you qualify for any of the refund amounts and see what happens. You can file for a refund up to 3 years from the due date of the tax return and receive the amount of the refund that you qualify for after that period of time the refund is no longer available to you.
