You have to pay and file taxes when due under the US tax laws, which even has it's own Federal Court System (The US Tax Court)

Yes, you can, and you may be able to discharge the taxes owed, if they are income taxes for returns filed more than three years prior to filing, unless there are more recent adjustments to the taxes owed.You can also file a Chapter 13 to arrange a payment plan for the taxes, though the IRS has become more amenable to reasonable payment plans without a bankruptcy filing.Consult an experienced bankruptcy lawyer in your area.
Federal income taxes due in an amount certain 3 years or more before the bankruptcy filing date can be discharged along with other dischargeable debts. You cannot just file to discharge the taxes, unless you have no other unsecured debt.
