Question

My dad has an outstanding hospital bill. He is worried that if I claim him on my taxes that collectors will go after me. Is this a correct statement?

No.  Your tax refund cannot be seized for the debts of a dependent.  Nor are you responsible for the debts of a dependent if you were not legally obligated to pay those debts.
