A prospective client came to my office today and told me that he hasn't filed for years. He also told me that he had received a letter from the IRS saying that they didn't recognize him when he did try to file. What should I do?

Answer: First, figure out what years need to be filed. If out of statute, no refund will be issued. Then start preparing returns....

Second option - it's the middle of tax season, he hasn't filed for years. Do you really want him as a client and if so, does he really go to the top of the pile when you have folks that timely file every year wanting to have their returns prepared ASAP.
