Good morning. I am sorry for the financial trouble you've experienced. Fortunately, a chapter 13 bankruptcy might help in your situation. Depending on the amount of the lien, you might qualify for a payment plan to repay the IRS debt during your case. Credit cards and many other debts may also be included.  A chapter 13 repayment plan typically ranges from 3 to 5 years.  They are complex, so you will need a bankruptcy attorney to sit down and assess the overall feasibility of your options under the bankruptcy code.  Regardless of whether you file bankruptcy, I hope things improve for you.  Best of luck to you and your family.
