No, you will not claim his W-2 income on your return.  You are just claiming him as a dependent.  He will need to file a separate return for his W-2 and indicate that he was claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.  To enter this in TurboTax, you will follow these steps:

 

  1. Create a TurboTax account for your son
  2. Under my info answer the question "Another Taxpayer can claim me as a dependent on their return" as "Yes"
  3. Answer the question for "Will this person claim you as their dependent on their 2024 return" as "Yes"
  4. Enter his W-2 information
