You can find federal forms from previous years here:

http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/article/0,,id=98339,00.html

Just fill them out and mail them in as if you were filing on time.

Don't worry about any interest or penalties, the IRS will send you a bill if one applies. If they owe you a refund, you probably won't be charged any penalties.

Go to your state's web page, they probably have old forms online there, too. Or just call their general inquiry line and they'll be happy to send you old forms for free.

If you have a good excuse for filing late (you were in the hospital, you were in a disaster area, you were in a war zone, etc.), be sure to attach an explanation to your return. Otherwise, just file.
