If you prepare your own taxes it might not be too late to benefit from the IRS's Older Americans' Tax Guide, Publication 554 (2003).
The guide's purpose is to provide a general overview of selected topics that are of interest to older Americans. The publication helps you determine if you need to file a return and, if so, what items to report on the return.
The Older Americans' Tax Guide is available online at: https://www.unclefed.com/Tax-Help/HTML/p554
