MFS or MFJ with a hospital bill

Hi,

I was wondering what to file given that for 3 years I ve been a sahm with no additional income. My husband is currently the main financial provider with our 2 kids.

I received a letter about a hospital bill that stated was never paid therefore sent to collections. It was from a long time ago and this letter was sent to an old address I lived in with a family member, but I had thought I was covered the whole time and given that I have moved about 3 more times since then, I kind of had no idea until I recently visited that family member. So I’m wondering what to file since I don’t want it to affect my husband- will the amount be offset from his refund? The past years we had done MFJ as he would claim our oldest and include me with no additional income. Thanks!
