There are lots of web sites including the irs.com, H&R Block, or Turbo Tax. You can get forms from IRS, but the laws change every year, so I guess you need to choose between paying a tax expert, or paying the IRS for back taxes.

If you think you owe money to the irs, just go on the irs website, www.irs.gov, and download whatever forms you need and fill out your return. If you think you are owed a refund, then there is no sense in filing, all of those years are past the statutory limit (3 years) for filing a return and getting the refund.

Momzadork isn't quite right - if you didn't file for those earlier years and were required to, then you still have to file, but if you would have gotten a refund, it's too late to get it.
Bostonianinmo is correct that you can download the forms and instructions for those years at irs.gov and do the returns yourself. You'll click on "more forms and publications", then on the next screen click on "previous years", then on the year you want.

You can only go back 3 years and file your taxes unless you owe them money in which I would agree with bosto. Download the forms or I'm not sure I've never used it but Turbo tax ( yuck ) might have something for going back to past years. A few tax places will do 3 together for a reduced price. I manage one so I know we do. Just explore your options to find the best one for you.

Download the forms and instructions from the IRS website and DIY.
