Education
Yes, being at school is the same as living at home for tax purposes. (be sure to select "All year" for the months he lived at home when you enter him on your return in the "My Info" section)
So if he is your son, he was a student under 24 in 2019 and he doesn't supply more than half his own support, he is your dependent and you claim him.
If you are entering the 1099-Q, be sure to also enter the 1098-T that the school issued to the student. You might get an education credit.
Even if he is your dependent, he might need to file a tax return, depending on his income.
If he does file, he needs to select "Someone else can claim me" and "Someone else will claim me" on his return.
