I've seen it happen multiple times and it is heartbreaking. Because generally, its just normal every-day people, often who just started a business, who got a little behind because starting a business is hard, and then the fees, interest, penalties and fines add up and its just becomes a Hamster-Wheel.

So as much I'd love to help you taxbuster, I think your friend/client is going to need a bankruptcy trustee and a good lawyer more than Tax guys like us.
