I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you talking about his income tax? Did he not file for the 3 years he was here? I believe if he was here on student visa and working, he was required to file a regular 1040. You can get a refund up to 3 years from the due date of your income tax return. So I believe he can file for a refund going back to 2003. You can always check the irs website, it's irs.gov.
