Whether or not you should file bankruptcy can only be determined after evaluating all your options and having a comprehensive consultation with a bankruptcy attorney.

Taxes can be discharged in bankruptcy if certain criteria are met. Information on this can be found at https://www.bklaw.com/bankruptcy-taxes/
