Deductions & credits

You also asked what might happen tax-wise for your son if he later on starts to receive Social Security disability benefits.  If his only income is SS, then he will not need to file a tax return at all, unless he also works and has other income besides the SS.  If his only income becomes SS, then again, he does not qualify for any other child-related credits, etc.  Those credits are only obtained by working and earning income.
