My brother was complaining about the cost of filing taxes and he doesn't like to do them himself due to time, so I offered to do them for him. Is this illegal?

No, it is not illegal to assist a relative with their taxes as long as the taxpayer actually signs the return (or if efiling, actually authorizes the efiling). Don't do it for money and don't do it for the general public unless you're properly licensed.
