Here is a good rule of thumb--when filing for bankruptcy you list EVERYTHING! And by everything, I mean everything. Courts do not appreciate even unintentional concealments of sources of income.

Doing so would answer questions like where to put what and also familiarize yourself with what debts are and are not dischargeable.
