Liable for dependent's bills?

[HarriedParent]

Our 44 yr old daughter is disabled and unemployed. We provide all her support, although she lives alone. We will claim her on our 1040 form this year. Can her creditors reach us because we do this?

No, of course not.

You are not responsible for any debts but your own!!!

You are entitled to claim her if you provide more than half of her support and care.
