Yes. Your nephew should file his own tax return, even if he might not meet the qualifications to file.
There are two reasons he should file a return this year:
- If he had any withholding taken out of his pay, he will likely get a refund of taxes paid.
- If he is no longer a dependent of anyone and meets all the requirements, he will also qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit. If he was your dependent last year, he would not have qualified for stimulus money due to his age. He can now recoup that money by filing a return and getting the credit.
