The IRS and an attorney, most likely. He’ll need an attorney to negotiate on his behalf, and possibly keep him from going to jail, or getting into legal trouble if he can’t pay the tax liability or negotiate a settlement on his own.

A good accountant should be able to help him straighten out what he owes the IRS and submit his back taxes and file. It might run 500 – 1000. But maybe you can fit the bill or part of it to help him get his act back together. Don’t give up on him. Sounds like your a caring boss. They might garnish some of his wages but they will most likely be able to set up a long term payment options.

Are you sure this is correct? Was his application actually rejected? There is no requirement to file income taxes the only requirement is to pay any tax that is determined to be owed the IRS.. If he has not filed taxes no determination could be made. Now if he did file and owes 100’s of thousands in back taxes maybe they would want him to remain in the country but I think he would have some serious constitutional arguments if this were to occur. As far as i know this is supposed to be a free country and as such we are free to travel anytime and anyplace we so desire except specific war zones or countries that are on the list which is about 5 or 6 I believe. Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Iraq and afghanistan.
