Your 18 year old does not get stimulus for himself. Dependents do not get stimulus money.
If he had a job and has income to enter on a tax return he can file to get a refund of tax withheld. But he must say on his own tax return that he can be claimed as someone else's dependent. If he says he cannot be claimed --- then when YOU try to file your tax return, your own return will be rejected and you will have to file by mail.
