A friend of mine filed his taxes last month, owing about $1000.
He then sent in his check last week.
Now he is worried that he didn't sign it.
What happens in such a case?
What should he do?
(Would IRS.gov indicate that payment was made?).
Would they return the check (assuming it was unsigned)? If so, when?
Any advice for him what to do?

My suggestion would be to do nothing. The penalty is 0.5% per month,
in this case about $5. I agree that the most likely outcome is that
they cash the check, the bank doesn't care, everything is fine.
If there's no sign of the check by mid-May, he can use EFTPS to pay electronically.
