What do I need to do if I need to file a tax that was five years ago?

For a tax return from 5 years ago you will either need to locate a tax professional in your area or use the IRS prior year forms and schedules from this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/prior-year-forms-and-instructions

Filing a tax return with a tax refund from 5 years ago, the refund will not be paid since it is beyond the 3 year limit for filing a return with a refund after the due date of the return.
