Please see this IRS webpage for "What if I can't pay my taxes?"

 

As soon as possible, you should call the IRS (yes, with the pandemic, this may be time consuming). As the IRS notes, you should file your return anyway, even if you can't pay.

 

But don't ghost the IRS, but continue to work with them.
