My son is our dependent and a full time student. We claimed him as our dependent on our taxes and he checked the correct box as well. He also made money throughout the year which added up to be around $7500. Taxes were not taken out and considered contract work so received a 1099. He filed taxes and paid on that amount but others keep telling us that he didn't have to pay since it was under $12k and he was a full time student. Does the IRS owe this back to him then or is what others are telling us incorrect?
