Nothing.

Just sit back and relax. The IRS will either send your tax return back or send a substitute form for you to sign. (Or they will overlook it.) When you get the form back from the IRS, just sign it and return it.

If it were before the deadline (April 15th), I would advise you to file an extension (Form 4868) to protect your rights. But it's after the deadline now (at least for your 2008 taxes if you are reading this in June 2009), so you can't do that.
