@DAD2411 You can claim your son as a dependent if he is a full-time student UNDER the age of 24 with no earning limit for him. Even if he makes over $4300 you can claim him as a qualified child if he is a full-time student. If he is NOT a full-time student then you cannot claim him if he makes over $4300.
And.....he will have to say on his own return that he can be claimed. Make sure you and your son both understand that so that he does not mess up your ability to e-file. When a dependent says they cannot be claimed --and files first--- it makes it impossible for the parent to e-file and then the parent has to file by mail.
