Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It may have felt like barter to your son, but the IRS sees it as self-employment income for which he needs to pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.  He will not owe any ordinary tax.  

 

It looks like you are posting from the CD/download so you can prepare the his return without paying an extra fee.  

 

Make sure his return is marked that he can be claimed as someone else's dependent---do that in Personal Info.
