So long as he catches up with his taxes, and has three years' worth of tax returns to provide with the application, he'll be OK. His issues with the IRS about back taxes, interest, penalties, etc. are of no interest to USCIS. While he's at it, he might as well file now for tax year 2008. He is also required to file back state income tax returns. If not, the state will be knocking on his door.
