Until you file, your money is yours to use. Financial counseling would be an excellent choice. However, you have debt obligations you promised to pay...that would be a good honorable place to use it. (If you don't think doing the honorable thing is important, then don't complain when others don't care about what harm they do to you).
Anything you do for some extended time, especially using any asset or trying to make a benefit, before BK can be challenged in the BK (and reversed, etc.)...as being done preferentially in anticipation of BK. And here to, the BK Court doesn't like anyone doing those things, so they may decide to not be as favorable to you as they could be.

Whether you are entitled to your tax refund will depend on what type of Chapter of bankruptcy you are filing and whether the bankruptcy exemptions can be used to protect the tax refund. If you are filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy then you can generally keep the refund if the available state bankruptcy exemptions provide protection for it. If you are in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy you are typically required to turn over the tax refunds during the life of the Chapter 13 case.
You can usually expect to get your tax return refund 21 days or more from the filing date depending on how you file.
You can get an income tax refund by filing your taxes at companies such as H&R Block and Jackson Hewitt. You can also find local companies that offer helping you with tax preparation.
