Dependent with Student Loans

Our son finished College in May of 2018. We, his parents, are paying for his student loans.

He is living with us, but only received a Gross income of 2665.00 from last quarter of last year.

My question is three fold,

Does he need to file a return, or should he? He paid  Fed Tax of $225.00.

Can we, or should we claim him as a Dependent? added note, our combined income is over 160K

Can, or should we claim his higher education interest?  added note, our combined income is over 160K.
