Tax Year 2016: I have not filed a return since 2007

[mtonto22]

I haven't filed in quite awhile.  I had a situation in 2008 where i was hired as a illegal 10-99 subcontractor.  I filed a ss-8 and was determined to be a illegal subcontractor.  I have never gotten a letter from the IRS saying i'm delinquent or owe them money.  Is it ok to file or should I do something else first?

It is okay to file your 2016 tax return.  Then, it is a good idea to contact the IRS to get everything straightened out for the prior years.  They will send out written notification about any money you owed from prior years.  If you didn't receive it, they may not have had your correct address or you are fine.  Either way, it's best to know if they require anything further from you and take care of it sooner rather than later.
