I have a question.  My son graduated high school in 2016. When Im asked if he was a full time student which says has to be 5 months out of the year, is that considered to be full time?

If he graduated high school in May or June of 2016 then he was a full time student.  Any portion of a month for any 5 months during the year where a student is considered a full time student counts as being a full time student for tax purposes.
