We do not have enough information about your son to know if he could or could not be claimed as a dependent. Here are some rules that will help you to know. If you need to remove him as a dependent, then amend the return and change the information you entered about him in MY INFO or simply delete him in MY INFO. You will have to re-pay any dependent-related credit you received for claiming him--like the $500 credit for other dependents or possibly earned income credit, head of household filing status, etc.
