Legal Question in Tax Law in Connecticut

Never filed tax returns

A friend has worked here in the US for 5 years. She has had witholdings taking out of her check but has never filed a tax return. Now she just received a form (# 2797?) from the IRS to verify her address. Does she have to send it back. What does this mean? What are the ramifications of never filing and what could happen now? Thankyou for any info.

She must file returns for the 5 years and all subsequent years that she continues to live and work in the US.
