We have always claimed our 22 year old son as a dependent. He still lives with us and we provide over half of his expenses.
However, this year he is filing his own taxes. Does he have to check the box that says 'he can be claimed by someone else as their dependent' even if we Are Not claiming him as our dependent?
We Do Not want to claim him. He is a full time student, but had enough income that he HAS TO file a return.
So I was just asking if He HAS TO check the box that he can be claimed by someone.
Please help - thank you!
