About 7 years ago, I went bankrupt. Owed her $1,000. So, it was lost for her by being part of my bankruptcy. I went on SSDI and for years had no money.

I have money now and want to pay her and relieve my guilt. We terminated 4 years ago and haven't had contact--she didn't want any; it was a messy termination. Paying her would be a major issue--she might not want to deal with it, or take it, or have a dialogue about it.

Would she have gotten a tax write-off or something for this--whatever a write-off would mean in dollar terms? I'm asking if she didn't suffer financially fully from not getting the money from me. If she didn't lose out on a lot of the 1 grand, I'll feel less guilty and can handle never paying her myself. Know nothing about the taxes and impact on a professional getting stiffed like she did.
