The federal government tends to take on issues that can't or shouldn't vary from state to state. State law governed copyright in sound recordings for many years, which has resulted in frustration and confusion as researchers try to trace ownership and renewals. With the increasingly information-based international economy, countries are finding that even federal law that varies from country to country causes problems; more than 160 countries have agreed to a basic set of minimal copyright rules to help with international trade.

If you are surrendering your house anyways, it is usually better for your credit score if you do it through bankruptcy.

You can file bankruptcy at any time you like, but I will tell you that bankruptcy court does not have the authority to drop the taxes.

You will still have to pay the taxes due and it may be to your benefit to work out a payment plan directly with tax department and not have to pay the legal and court fees involved with the bankruptcy.
