It depends more on how the debts are allocated. If you file bankruptcy alone (which is allowed) then your debts will be cleared (assuming they are debts eligible for discharge) but hers will not be. So for example if you are both on the home loan then she would still be liable. You should consult an attorney to determine your best course.

If we file bankruptcy is our property taxes included?

To keep the house, you have to pay the back taxes. If you surrender the house, you don't have to pay the back taxes but you do have to pay the ongoing taxes on the property as long as your name is on the title to the property. Filing bankruptcy & stating that you intend to surrender property does nothing to take title to the property out of your name, and in some circumstances, lenders can be very slow about foreclosing on underwater properties.

Yes. The value that you have in the home, after your outstanding balance is subtracted is considered as an asset.
