You may have a choice. IRS debt is considered a priority debt, meaning it gets paid before any other debts get paid when you file bankruptcy. So you probably can continue to pay the debt pursuant to your agreement. Sometimes, IRS debt is partially or completely dischargeable. So, you may be able to pay the IRS even less than the amount you are currently paying.
