If you cut the green foliage off after the bloom before it turns brown the will not bloom the next year . They get the nutrition from the green stems that remain after they bloom for the bulb to be able to bloom the next year.
Another thing: If you don't dig them up and replant them, they will eventually get too deep in the earth to bloom. The multiply very quickly and need to be divided annually.
Here in New Zealand we only dig up Tulips when they have finished for the year. We have paddocks of Daffodils that are never touched, and I had a very long drive with big lawns each side planted in Daffys and a wee pony that ate around and between them. Mowed the lawns when the Daffys died back. That was after the wee pony passed on - well he was 30 years old! 🤓
Try digging them up and separating them-the bulbs grow babies (I have to do this every 5-7 yrs) When you replant add some bonemeal to the soil. Be careful not to plant too deep. Generally plant so the top of the bulb is 1-2 inches below the soil line. After Daffidil's flower cut off the seed head or ball at the top leaving the rest of the greens. This prevents The plants energy from going to make seed and sends all of the energy/nutrition to the bulb.
Daffs don't like to be crowded by their offspring; divide and replant (upstate NY, I do this every 3-5 years. NEVER cut off the tops! If you find them unsightly, you can tie them into a loose knot...but it's better to interplant with something that will grow/leaf out later.

feed them! Plus don't cut the leave, like others have mentioned here.
