Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Be4Him66 Your son will have to amend.  He made more than one mistake.   He should have said he could be claimed, and he should have entered self-employment income as such and should pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare if he received income on a 1099NEC.   When his return has been fully  processed he can amend.   Perhaps the IRS will catch his mistake and bill him for self-employment tax.  If they do not then he can amend.
