So I'm about to file petition for 1-130 DCF from Thailand. Problem is I'm having trouble rectifying my US tax filings which I'll need for the next step. If I file now, after the petition is accepted is there a time limit on when I need to make the next step?

Theoretically you have several months or longer after the petition is approved (possibly up to one year)  Just work with the embassy 

YMMV

You'll have up to one year to begin the next step, the letter they give you after the I-130 approval should also say this, nearly verbatim, I'm also sitting on my petition a couple months until we are ready to complete the DS-260 and other parts of the 2nd step.  So go ahead, get that step done so the USCIS part is complete, since their office will close sometime later this year most likely.
