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.

How long do you have to file income taxes?
You can file federal income tax returns at any time. If you fail to file before the deadline or extended deadline for any year in which you owed tax, then you will incur penalties and interest. You can file amended returns up to three years after filing a return. If you are required to file a return and fail to file, there is no statute of limitations on any tax, penalties and interest you may owe, until you file. Then the IRS has three years in which to assess the charges.
When is the deadline for taxes if you do not owe?
Generally you have three years in which to file a tax return for a refund. After three years, the IRS refund statute doesn't allow for issuing a refund.

You did not file 2005 tax return when should you do it?
Do so at the first opportunity! Depending when you asked this question, and followed through. You actaully only get a refund for the past three years. So if you did not file your return by April 15, then you will receive your refund, if you were due one. However, whether you were entitled to a refund or not, you still need to file your return to prevent further interest/penalties accruing.
