Not if its a chapter 7 BK; there is too much equity (value) in the car (since most vehicle exemptions are about $3,000 or lower. If filing chapter 13, it might be possible to keep the car. But if its a chapter 7, it is highly likely that the car would be seized and sold off by the BK trustee to pay off your creditors, or make you pay the difference between the car value and car exemption. (and before you ask- NO, do NOT sell your car to friends/family/neighbors, etc... for a $1)

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 in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy you are typically required to turn over the tax refunds during the life of the Chapter 13 case.

I think that at your age you really need to consult with a bankruptcy attorney before filing for bankruptcy. Filing for bankruptcy is the best remedy for many debt problems.
