Get your taxes done using TurboTax
No, you do not claim income your son earned (his W-2) on your tax return. If that is the only income your son received then he may not need to file a federal return at all. If the employer did withhold any federal tax (box 2), then you may want to file it for him to receive a refund. Make sure that you indicate he is being claimed by someone else.
Also, state filing requirements vary greatly. You should check your state site to see if a state return is required or if a state refund may be available. You can use the link below to get started.
