It's possible your back taxes, interest and penalties can be wiped out by filing bankruptcy. If you qualify, bankruptcy may be the best solution to resolve your crushing tax problems. But be aware bankruptcy comes with a lot of consequences.

Not everyone qualifies to wipe out their tax debt in bankruptcy. Certain rules have to be met first. If you file bankruptcy and don't meet the rules, the IRS will still be in hot pursuit after your bankruptcy is over. Proper pre-bankruptcy planning is key to determining if bankruptcy is or can be a viable solution.
