Taxes are only dischargeable in bankruptcy if they meet a variety of criteria, one of which is that they must be 3 YEARS OLD measured from the due date of the tax return. If your taxes are for a year AFTER 2008, they would NOT have been discharged in your bankruptcy. Your question, however, seems to have something to do with tax owed on account of the debt cancelled in the foreclosure of your prior home. If you filed bankruptcy before the foreclosure was concluded, and the mortgage debt was discharge, you should not have any tax liability. See Section 108(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
