Q: How do you respond to a notice of foreign judgement? It was for taxes 3 years ago and it was discharged in bankruptcy?

The taxing authority is claiming the debt is not dischagrable because they sent you a tax warrant 3 years ago before you actually filed for bankruptcy. Per the bankruptcy laws however that doesn't mean anything.
