I recommend paying any amount you can afford when you file the return. The penalty for not paying your taxes depends on the total tax you owe. If you pay some now, the penalty will be smaller later. Then I would contact the IRS and your state tax office. They will work with you to plan how to pay the rest of your tax, especially if you're experiencing a serious illness, natural disaster, or other hardship. If you file your taxes before you call, the IRS might give you extra time or offer an installment plan. Another method is to file Form 9465 (request for an installment plan) with the IRS.
