Tax help for military filers

You do not add his wages to your tax return.  

If he is single and $8,000 is what he earned for the entire year (both jobs and bootcamp), he does not have to file a tax return.  He might want to though to get a refund of the income taxes withheld from his paycheck.

It sounds like you will be able to claim him as a dependent but I do not have enough information  to say for certain.  You can read the article below to clarify.
