I have had a can of paint for approx 1 year. The intent was to use it for all of the trim in the house once we replaced it. I went to use it and it is extremely thick. Has the paint gone bad, or is there a solution to this problem?

If the paint isn't mostly solid or smells bad, you will know, then it is still good. Add a little solvent then mix to a good usable consistency. Use paint thinner for oil based paint and water for latex/acrylic paint.
