My son earned less than $3,000 on a 1099-NEC. He filled out a paper 1040 Form, but didn't indicate on the 1040 form that he could be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return nor did he answer that he couldn't. He left that section blank. He meets the other qualifications as being my dependent, but I'm presuming that the IRS would be comparing his return to my return to ensure they "sync" up in terms of the dependent question. I'm inclined to answer that he made more than $4,400 so that Turbo Tax will not include him as a dependent, but that is not accurate either. Need help on where to go from here. Thanks.
