Go to www.taxact.com.  They let you prepare your taxes free.  You can see what your return will be before you finish filing.  If you can't afford the amount you owe, the IRS will generally allow a payment plan; you'll end up paying more due to interest and fees, but you'll at least stay out of hot water with them.

If you didnt owe any money, there's no penalty for not filing.  The penalties are figured the passed due taxes owed.  So, if you dont owe anything there, there isnt any penalty.

If you have not received your refund, you can check the status at www.irs.gov. On the top, you will see a box that says "individuals" and from there you will select "where's my refund?" You will need to know your social security number, your filing status, and the exact dollar amount of your refund. The site will search their database and tell you the status of your refund. If it has been more that 4 to 6 weeks, it is possible you refund has been delayed due to an error or past debt, but if this is the case the site will tell you who to contact.\n\n(The site below should be a direct link to the search page.)

I'm a tax preparer and in order for me to answer that question i would need to know what state you owe. I live in California, and in this state our state tax is so low we don't have a form to fill out we call the tax franchise board and make payment arrangements.
