Deceased parents income taxes

Both my parents were on long term medicaid and lived in a nursing home. Their last 5 income taxes were not filed bc I could never get the information to file them and the IRS wouldn't give them to me either. My Mom passed in 2016 and my dad passed in 2019. Theres no will, No executor.  I do have a small estate affidavit for my dad so that I could close his bank account. They had nothing. All their income went to the nursing home and their medical bills would make them exempt from ever owing taxes. So do I have to file these pass income taxes and the final income taxes? The IRS is still giving me issues with getting transcripts and Im not going to spend my money to hire an accountant or lawyer. So do I have to file or not?
