You didn't file a return so file the return. If you don't the IRS will, 26 USC 6020b, and they're going to use only the information they have so you'll almost definitely end up paying too much in tax.

Since you are dealing with the IRS, the best and fastest way to "get this off your to do list" is to pay the taxes, penalties and interest due for the year 2013. If not, the IRS will keep hounding you for the next 4 years, i.e., until 2023--because that is how far they can go back--unless... View More
