If this is just occasional work or a one-time help given by your son, then this can be considered as Other income, and as it was less than $12,000, your son is not required to file a tax return. On the other hand, if this is regular work, this is self-employment income even if it is reported in box 3 and your son must file a tax return and pay self-employment tax.
