If the debt is cancelled, you will get a 1099 C, which is income for the amount forgiven. If your the one charging off....actual charge offs (not accrued) are business expenses and deductible when all events where collection is considered impossible. Undertanding, that all your getting back is the amount you probably already paid tax on expecting as income (under accrual basis) or a small portion of the amount you actually lost if a cash basis accounting.

Can you write off a judgment on your taxes?

I assume the judgment is against you. If you held the judgment, you will have received money and that may or may not be income. If you pay a judgment against you, whether or not you can "write it off" will depend entirely on what kind of judgment it is. Also, you may be able to write it off for state tax purposes but not federal and vice versa. Usually, paying most judgments does not affect taxes.
