Taxes, like all other liabilities/debts, (or asset if your awaiting a refund) must be included in your filing. They may receive a preferential handling, but ultimately are normally discharged or resolved one way or another.

Some debts, such as taxes (including payroll taxes, most student loans and unpaid wages) are not forgiven in bankruptcy even if you file, and will not be discharged even if you are given bankruptcy relief of your other debts. And being in arrears in taxes may bar you from getting any bankruptcy relief at all . Talk to an attorney as soon as possible.
