My son is 17 yrs old and received a 1099-misc form for 1805.00 for the year. That is his ONLY income. Does he need to file taxes for that amount

Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, if the amount was in box 7 of the 1099-misc. The IRS considers anything in box 7 of 1099-MISC to be self employment income. Enter the 1099-Misc income, at Other Common income / income from a 1099-MISC . TurboTax (TT) will complete Schedule C or C-EZ for you and allow you to deduct any expenses associated with this income. You'll also have to pay self employment tax (social security & Medicare) on any profits greater than $400. These types of payments are frequently done this way. Your "employer" is not the only one.
So, even though no income tax will be due; he has to file to pay his self employment tax, about $258
