If your son is listed as a dependent, then he will not get a stimulus payment mailed to him.
The stimulus payment is a 2020 tax credit that is being paid in advance. He should be able to file a return for 2020 and receive the tax credit next year.
If you want to try to get your son the credit this year, I would amend your tax return. Use the download version of the amend software and force the program to print a 1040X. Make sure you put the reason for amending the return in the space provided. I do not know whether this will work to get him the stimulus this year. It takes 6 weeks for a typical amended return to be processed at the IRS.
