How do I file 2015 taxes

I never filed my taxes in 2015 nor do I have my w2s from that time frame. What steps do I need to take to take care of this matter?

You will not be able to use TurboTax.

 

Either contact a professional or prepare the forms manually.

It is way too late to get a refund for a 2015 tax return .   If you could have received a refund it has already been forfeited.  But if you owe tax due, there is no time limit---the IRS wants you to pay.

 

Software is no longer available for 2015 but you can use the paper forms to prepare and mail the return.

If you owe tax due, you will still have to pay, and you will be billed later for the interest and penalties owed.

@mal2022 Oh---and you said you do not even have your W-2's for 2015.   W-2's come from your employer---so you would need to contact the 2015 employer(s) to see if they can give you a copy.

 

Or....get a wage and income transcript from the IRS that will show the income reported to the IRS by the employer

 It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.
