For this they can go to a CPA or Enrolled Agent; they don't need a tax attorney. Here are a few directories to check:

Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers with Credentials and Select Qualifications

Find a Tax Expert Directory

American Society of Tax Problem Solvers

Tax Cure

If they are low income they might qualify for help from a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic, although they usually don't do tax preparation. They can help with collection issues.

If that site isn't working, try this PDF:

Your friend doesn't need to track inventory, but they can't expense items they buy to resell until the tax year in which they are sold.

So if your friend bought a pair of shoes to resell in 2022 but didn't sell them until 2023, they have to wait until 2023 to include the cost in COGS or under Supplies.
