There are a few sorts of hardship exemptions that the IRS allows for people who owe unreasonable amounts of back taxes.
The best one is called an Offer In Compromise, or OIC. Basically that allows you to offer them an amount you'll pay instead of the amount you owe. Could be literally pennies on the dollar. You promise to keep your filings and payments current for five years after that, or the whole things comes back into full effect with no appeal.
He can also set up a payment plan with them and pay things off over time.
A tax accountant can help with these things.
