I filed taxes last year but messed up and printed it but didn't know you had to mail it so I missed my printed deadline. How can I still collect my refund

You can still file that tax return with the IRS to claim the refund.  You risk losing your refund if you don't file your return. If you are due a refund, you must file your return to claim it within 3 years of the return due date. The same rule applies to a right to claim tax credits such as the Earned Income Credit.
