Yes. The only option is to prepare using free software, prini and mail.
There should be an option to say he did not file last year. He did not file just by being a dependent on your return. If he received a 1099 or some other document in his name with his social security number. If this is the first time that you have prepared a tax return for him using his social security number then it is the first time.
Be aware that if your dependent is under 16 years old and this is their first time filing a tax return, they cannot efile their return. They can still prepare their return on eFile.com, print it, and mail it to the IRS to file it. They will be able to efile their tax return the following year.
