Is the IRS out to get you? Will they put you in jail?
If you didn't file your tax returns properly due to not understanding what was supposed to be done, they can be amended. Yes, you may owe some penalties. But you'll have peace of mind.
If you live outside the US, you may be eligible for the Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedure, which helps to avoid penalties, as well.
As long as any mistakes were non willful, or the fact that you didn't file was not through willfully trying to evade taxes, you'll be OK.
Don't wait for the IRS to contact you - if that happens, you have much less leverage to use these kinds of solutions.
