<prompt> Human: First of all, my girlfriend IS a dependent. She lives with me full time, has had NO income in the last year, I have fully supported her this last year, and no one else is claiming her or I as a dependent. We are NOT Co-filing taxes, I would just be claiming her as a dependent. Is it even possible for them to seize my tax refund because my dependent has outstanding debt?  <response>: Your refund cant be taken to pay a dependents debts.
