You fundamentally misread the question. I never said he graduated in 2019. I said 2019 was a year of change because he had already graduated. BIG BIG difference.
He graduated in 2018 and was looking for work - which is what I said in the original question - that in 2019 as a high school graduate, who turned 19 in 2019, he was looking for work and that was his first year that he wasn't a student at all. He trained with Voc Rehab and got paid minimum wage for the job training program.
He earned more than the $4200, can't be claimed as a dependent by anyone else, but lived at home and we provided ALL of his living expenses, housing, food, health insurance, the works. All of his net income ended up in his checking account, and a good bit of that has been spent for what it took to get him set up for college (a desk and computer for his room, a backpack/bookbag, and other supplies).
The problem seems to be that because he turned 19 and wasn't a student in 2019, that he can't be claimed as a dependent even though we provided all his living.
The question I asked, and wasn't answered, is do we need to amend HIS return to reflect the non-dependent status TurboTax Online decreed on OUR return, or is it a non-issue for HIS return to say we thought he was going to be claimed as a dependent on our return.
It will not be an issue in 2020 because as a current college student, he will have student status and his dependent state is obvious.
