The IRS has made it a well kept secret, but you can go bankrupt on federal and state taxes, as long as fraud is not involved, the tax is at least 3 years old, and you have filed for the tax in question at least 2 years ago. They let you keep certain things, but you are pretty much liquidated. A friend of mine had to do it, a great burden was lifted from his shoulders, but it was a last resort option for him.
