What if I owed taxes in 2014 and uh forgot to file?

Then I procrastinated and never filed because of anxiety over the first bit.

For the next 9 years.

    Well, if it's affecting your mental health you should just file it and get it over with

    Eventually, they will find out and make you pay it back

    If you're nice and apologetic, they'll almost certainly give you a realistic and decent payment plan as long as you still have an income

    They don't want to throw you in jail because then they can't get your tax money. Their goal is to get everything that you owe them

    Worst case you can declare bankruptcy if you don't want to pay it when they chase after you at the cost of your credit score being destroyed for years and year
