A: Depends on your case and goals. If you're asking the question, you should consult with a lawyer.

Corona is not affecting when you can file.

Are you wanting support or maintenance?

A: You should be able to file immediately IF your county accepts electronic filing. There are two or three highly technical reasons that favor who files first. However, as a practical matter, the advantage that the public perceives does not exist.
