You can choose to prorate the amounts with the taxpayers who are no longer on your return. You don't have to take the entire 100% yourself. You can each take 33% or however else you choose to split it up. It is between you. See the screenshots below.
If you do elect to take the entire 100%, you can get on an Installment Agreement with the IRS.
The best thing you can do is
pay it before April 15 this year. If you can't you can fill out Form 9465
Installment Agreement Request. You will be liable for penalties and interest.
Understand your
agreement & avoid default

future refunds will be applied to your tax debt until it is paid in full;
