The bankruptcy no longer is an issue as far as the property goes. You should work with the bank to see if it'll agree to take back the house. It'll save a lot of money and time if it doesn't have to foreclose. At the same time, you should speak with a tax advisor to make sure that you will face no tax consequences.
