Your son gets a full refund of his federal tax withheld because his wages of $11.729 are less than the standard deduction of $13,850.
MA doesn't have a standard deduction. Instead, state taxpayers can determine if they qualify for certain tax exemptions to reduce the amount of tax owed. Anyone who files a Massachusetts state tax return is given a personal exemption amount based on their tax-filing status.
Please read this MA Revenue document for more information.
