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.
If you owe money to the IRS for prior years taxes, and you have a refund due to you on this year's taxes, the IRS will keep the refund and apply it towards the debt that you owe.

If you require a tax extension and do not owe any money to the IRS, then you are in good shape. However, if you do owe money to the IRS, then you are still going to have to pay up by the deadline. Even if you want to get a tax extension, you will have to pay at least 90% of what you owe to the IRS ahead of time. The other 10% of what you owe may then be given to the IRS by the tax extension deadline. Be sure to understand the tax extension deadline rules so you do not get into legal trouble with the IRS.

The IRS can actually garnish your wages if you owe back taxes. However, they will work with you on an installment plan if you need it. The IRS wants their money so they will try to give you a discount if you ask for it.
