They can, and are actually required, to submit your debt to the IRS. If they have written the debt off, it is essentially income to you. It is as if they gave you the amount of the debt. Which means that you have to pay income tax on that income.

Unless you paid federal and state taxes you cannot get a refund. Many people make the mistake of thinking they can file taxes simply to get the earned income credit. They are wrong. It is called the earned income credit because they earned an income. So unless you worked at some point over the prior year you cannot get the earned income credit. And unless you paid taxes in then you have nothing to file or claim.

It does prevent you from claiming many of the tax credits such as Earned Income Credit, Child Tax Credit as you cannot claim that you supported your children or that they lived with you during this time.
