Can you include a judgment filed against you in a future bankruptcy?
Yes. A discharge will depend on whether the claim involved fraud.
Can a judgment be dismissed if you file for bankruptcy?
To get technical, a bankruptcy does not "dismiss" a judgment. However, the end result is the same- a bankruptcy will "discharge" the debtors responsibility to pay the judgment which makes unenforceable - uncollectible. It is against Federal law to try and collect funds that have been discharged in bankruptcy. Prior to the discharge in a bankruptcy, and IMMEDIATELY after the filing of your bankruptcy petition, an "automatic stay" by the court is put in place to freeze all collections actions against you. There are several exceptions which include certain taxes, student loans and fraud.

How do you write a motion to dismiss an old IRS tax debt and include it on my bankruptcy?
If there is a judgment in a court for the IRS debt, you do not need to file a motion to include it in your bankruptcy. If the tax due was determined more than 3 years before the filing date, you include it in your Schedule F. If you have already filed your bankruptcy documents, you need to file a motion to amend Schedule F with the bankruptcy court. If the case has been closed, you will need to reopen the case, paying the filing fee, and then your motion to add the debt.
