Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@rsevick You do not say how much your son earned.   He cannot get a refund for the amounts that were withheld for Social Security or Medicare.   He can only get a refund of the amounts in boxes 2 or 17 of his W-2.   If his box 1 is more than the standard deduction amount for a single person $13,850-- his refund is based on his tax liability and how much was withheld.
