The IRS will settle with you.  I would ask them for a settlement amount to get a jumping off point and then if it's too much, counteroffer.  If they don't accept, then let them know you plan on hiring an attorney but would rather give the money to them.  If they still don't come down, hire an attorney that takes payments.

There is a form to set up a payment plan with the IRS.  Call the local IRS office and they will help you.  It is always better for you to go to them, than to ignore the situation.

Yes they do, but you can deduct foriegn tax off of the net owed up to $300.  So if you would normally owe $250 and paid $300 in foriegn tax, then you wouldn't owe the IRS anything.  If they see large amount of money floating around in your accounts without the proper paperwork, they get suspicious.
