@davis_mc as you have seen from post by my colleagues ( @VolvoGirl , @xmasbaby0 and @Mike9241 ) we are all urging generally the same treatment --- " bring him in compliance" and sooner than later. Personally I think with your help, they can get into compliance at least for the current year. What to do about the last 10 years is a different question -- whether he chooses to use a tax professional or visit the IRS office an seek advice or whatever is up to him. Obviously depends on the amount of his earnings for those years and when he comes clean , others may be implicated also ( depending on provable facts and circumstances).
If we have jointly satisfied your query please accept and thereby close this thread.
