If you forgot to file your last year’s taxes, you can still file the last three years’ taxes. You can receive your stimulus check. You will need to add current taxes as well. In some special cases, people need to file their six years of foreign bank account reports. In another form, you can claim your stimulus check by filing your taxes. Time is running out.
