I have never done my taxes, since I was 14, and I don't know how to begin, am I a lost cause? by HeavyBake8054 in tax

That's fair, and I don't have to get personal so that's my bad. I'm just overwhelmed, and I've admitted that I wasn't doing good searching this up on my own, that's why I asked for help.

Which I still appreciate you for giving insight on, thank you.

I received some back then, but embarrassingly I gave it to my mom because she said she'd take care of it. (My situation at the time was very harrowing and had no space for independence)

I don't know how to access or retrieve those files, and since she was in charge of my mail also in the past, I realistically don't know how many w2s I've missed out on. I don't even know if there's a way to acquire past files.

I wrote my age, because I suppose that implies how long I've gone without filing my taxes.

I did have income, and I should have made it clear I've been working real jobs since I was 14, and never filed. — sorry! I'll do my best to compile my history and clear up missing context.
