Get your taxes done using TurboTax

My 19 year old son received his first W2 last year, $203 in wages.   I did not file my2019 taxes and he did not file either. I did claim him as a dependant 2018. I received my $2400 stimulus check today for my spouse and myself.

If I chose not to claim him as a dependant for 2019 and he files do you think he would apply for the $1200 stimulus? The wording says someone "can" claim you as a dependent to not be eligible. If I file my 2019 (as his parent) and chose not to add him as a dependent, I am thinking that would change his status.  Thoughts?
