Nothing in this world is free. The IRs wants thier money. They help you pay them. IRS employees are paid with federal tax dollars. You may not be paying a fee. The rest of US tax payers are paying.
. Filing taxes is one of the conditions of maintaing a visa. Just becuse "the above poster" got away with not filing taxes and IRS didn't contact INS to have "the aboveposter" deported, doesn't mean that everyone else will have the same luck. My advise stands.
I'm glad that OP will ble to help his friedn sort out the tax mess. However Istill suggest he raitn an atty to make sure verything is order befor apporoching the IRS.
