    If you got W-2s for 2002 and 2003, you need to file for 2002 now! Assuming you will get a refund, you must file before April 15, 2006, or you forfeit the refund for 2002.

    For both years, if you are due a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.

    If you did not work in 2003, no tax return needs to be filed.
