There's no time like NOW to get right with IRS. So Friday
morning, get the returns done and filed. Might also be a
good idea to consult a professional in your area to make
sure all the i's are crossed and the t's dotted. well,
something like that.

Happy New Year,

Situation:

A "person I know" sent in an auto extension of Fed Income
taxes the past two years (2001 and 2002). They never
actually filed or paid the tax owed (about $1500 each year).

Due to fear and guilt this person wants to get back in good
stead with the IRS, what is the best way to approach this?

Many thanks in advance for your advice.
