Note
One regular -ed form does double duty: simple past (she filed the papers) and participle, after have (has filed) or be (was filed). Only the transitive uses can turn passive: a report, a reporter's story or data saved to a disk can all be filed. The formal-request use takes no object and pairs with for instead, as in filed for bankruptcy, so it has no passive.
