<prompt> Human: I will try to keep this as succinct as possible. I spent most of my juvenile life compiling a criminal record.. retiring around age.. 25ish. Dad died in 2002 and Mom died in 2006. Part of my inheritance was an IRA account that totaled 75,000. I was quite the alcoholic at the time, and would routinely fax requests to withdraw the money pretty much as fast as I possibly could. Spent entire inheritance within 8-9 months. Grand total of 100,000, give or take. Realized withdrawing on IRA incurs a penalty Edit: I guess that I owe the IRS around 40k, as well. The last time I got a figure was around 4 years ago and it was about 35k then. Also owe child support around 40-50k. Child support can only take half my check, and does. I have been Off the grid for at least 6 years. Maybe 7, Ive been drunk and slept since then.Questions: Will IRS automatically garnish my wages? Assuming yes to that, do CS and IRS split the 50 of check, or will IRS take 50 of remaining 50 after CS? IRS payment plans?Yes, I realize my social skills with the above, but Im nearly 40 and Im starting to worry about the future. I have a family, and an ex-family so to speak, and Im beginning to think Ill be dead before I even make a dent in any of these debts.So... Im asking Reddit. What would you do? Should I just go get a job and risk being arrested on site?Beginning to create a soapboxtinfoil hat, so thanks in advance :  <response>: The more you work with the IRS and tell them about your situation, the more likely they will be to help you with your tax situation. Call the IRS. Its really your only option at this point.The IRS is not in the business of bankrupting people. They want to get money out of you that you owe them, and they cant do that if you declare bankruptcy.
