Yes, based on the information that you provided, he qualifies as a Qualifying Child Dependent and the amount of money that he earned doesn't matter.
For a Qualifying child
- They must be related to you.
- They can’t be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
- They must be a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
- If they are married, they can’t file a joint return with their spouse.
- They must be under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
- No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
- They must have lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
- They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.
Because of his age, your son isn't a Qualifying Child for the Child Tax Credit. For more information, review the TurboTax Help article Child Tax Credit .
Because your son was over 16 at the end of 2024, he doesn't qualify you to get the Child Tax Credit , but you may still be eligible to get the $500 non-refundable credit for Other Dependents instead.
