Remember to prepare your state returns as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return.
It is beyond the Statute of Limitations to file for a 2013 refund now, but you must file if you woe taxes.
I don't owe anything. I can only go back 3 years right?

Adding to SuperUser @xmasbaby0's answer: Be sure that you mail each return separately.
