If you expect an income tax refund of 4000 should you file bankruptcy first or your income tax first if you need to purchase a new car?

Why not wait for the refund and buy a car for that amount. See if you have any other options because bankruptcy stays on your financial record for life now. And you do have to pay it back, they no longer they dismiss the debt.

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.

Will the bankruptcy court take a tax refund after your bankruptcy is discharged?
Usually not. Your bankruptcy petition will ask you for information on whether or not you received a tax refund for the year prior, but they don't usually track you afterwards to find out if you got a refund after your discharge. You are applying for a clean financial slate, and taking away your refund would negate that purpose. If in doubt, check with your bankruptcy attorney for more clarification.
Your student loans are in default your attorney says if you file bankruptcy you will still receive your federal income taxes is this true?
While in general you should always follow your attorney's advice, you may wish a second opinion from another attorney this time. A bankruptcy does not get you out of student loans. If you were going to lose your income tax refund to the student loan people, then even after bankruptcy you still will.
