All liabilities must be included. If your federal loans are student loans they can not be discharged.

It depends on the federal loans. If you mean student loans, if the term of the loan repayment exceeds your chapter 13 plan, you don't have to repay that loan in your bankruptcy.

I'm not sure what you mean by federal loans, but you must list all assets and all debts in any bankruptcy case. Whether or not those debts are dischargeable is another question altogether.
