Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You do not report your son's income on your return.

 

You can claim him as a dependent.

 

If his income is wages reported on form W-2, he is not required to file a tax return as he earned less than $12,400. However, if he had taxes withheld, he can file a tax return to claim a refund.

 

If his income is self-employed income reported on form 1099-NEC, he is required to file a tax return if he earned more than $400.

 

If he files a tax return, he has to indicate in TurboTax that he can be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
