I have a discharged case and I have a debt with the unemployment security office. I asked if I could include this in my chapter 7 and was told I couldn’t. Now, they are taking my taxes.

Sue whoever misinformed you with legal malpractice. There is no excuse for a lawyer to advise you to exclude a debt from your bankruptcy.

Your lawyer should research the question of whether that kind of debt is dischargeable. Depending on state law, it might be one or the other.
