xmasbaby0 provides a good resource for information regarding tax filing with earned income.
If his only income was his W-2 income he may still want to file a return if he had federal and/or state withholdings from his wages. If he had unearned income of more than $1,100 he would have to file a return.
Please see Do I need to file my own taxes if I'm a dependent? for more information on dependent filing requirements.
