I have posted similar question last year but I did not get clear answer. Again same confusion of should I add him as dependent in my tax or not. Here are the details.
1. My 21 years old is in college.
2. He has some income from college working in the lab.
3. Has interest from his investment on his name.
4. He is the beneficiary for 529 payment he used for college.
When I claim him in my tax as dependent or not, there is no difference in my tax. However, in his tax, he has to pay tax if he is on tax return.
Is there a rule that he has to be on my tax? His total income is less than 8k.
