Because your dependent son had unearned income (interest) of more than $1,300, as pointed out by @KrisD15, he is required to file a tax return. If preparing the return in TurboTax, be sure to indicate that he can be claimed as a dependent.
Single dependents (unless they are over 65 or blind) are required to file a return if any of the following apply :
- Their unearned income was more than $1,300.
- Their earned income was more than $14,600.
- Their gross income was more than the larger of:
- $1,300, or
- Their earned income (up to $14,150) plus $450.
See this TurboTax tips article for more information about who is required to file a tax return.
