If I file 3 years worth of tax info on one will I get into trouble

it depends if you create an artifical refund, that would be illegal and then you can get into trouble. each year stands on its own so if uyou have 3 years of tax info you need to file 3 ammual returns. any year prior to 2019 you must buy the sofware since online prep and efiling are closed. only 2019 can be prepared online and efiled.

since i don't know what 3 years your talking about if you were due a refund for any year prior to 2016, it's lost. 2016 must be file by 4/15/2020 if you are due a refund fior that year. if you owe, the same rule doesn't apply, the IRS can come after you forever.
