If federal income or other taxes are listed as debts to be discharged, the IRS may send a representative to the 341 meeting to question the debtor about the listings, or if the debtor does not list debts owed to the IRS, a representative may be sent o ask the debtor about the omissions. Tax debts must be listed even if the debtor has a payment agreement with the IRS. The bankruptcy court will send a notice of the bankruptcy filing to the IRS and state DOR even if the debtor has not listed any debt owed to them.

What happens if you default and the majority of what you owe is to the IRS?

The IRS acts like any other creditor only with more power. If you go into bankruptcy, your assets, except for those that are protected are sold and your creditors, including the IRS, get the money. After that, if bankruptcy wipes your record clean, that includes the IRS. There may be other considerations. You will need to discuss the options with your lawyer.
