Ask the client a lot of questions. Glean what you can form the past year's records and tax returns he does have.

Our mind reading classes are deficient in that department.  Maybe they should add courses.

So he shred everything 3 years ago.  Do you have the last 2 or three returns to determine if we are talking big dollars or piddly dollars?
