Each of these four states has its own unique methodology for the deduction and each place certain restrictions on the ability to take the deduction.

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.
