Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You should print, sign and mail your return that claims your son if he lived with you all year.  You should still get the $500 credit for other dependents for claiming him.  (You lose child tax credit when the child turns 17).  

 

It will not affect you in terms of your son--the stimulus  $600  is for kids 16 and under---your son is 18.
