Not sure what to do next...

I am not sure of my current status for 2018-19, not to mention 2019-20. I do not know what to do next.

To do about what? Status of what? Tax return or Visa Status? Did you file a 2018 tax return before Oct 15? When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.

Do you still need to file 2018?

I tried to file my 2018 taxes by myself for the first time ever. I owe money, but I am not sure how much? I can't find what amount I owe or how and when to pay. I'm trying to set up monthly payments with the IRS but I cant find what I owe them for 2018.

It looks like my 2018 taxes were never filed. I thought they were, but I never got another email, or regular mail about anything. After a while it slipped my mind. I don't know what the status is for 2018 taxes (federal or state).

Maybe you didn't finish filing it or it Rejected. When you log into your account you should see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc. what does it say?

You now have to print and mail prior year returns. 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 or State received the return. Mail federal and state in separate envelopes.

You need to register a 2019 online account to access prior years
