The inclusion of your dependent son on various applications, such as FAFSA, rental agreements, mortgage applications, or immigration documents, will depend on the specific requirements of each application.
Generally, for significant applications that could impact your financial situation, it is advisable to include information about dependents, since their status can affect your financial assessments.
On the other hand, if you are renting a house or an apartment and signing a lease where you know your son will not reside with you, and if the lease specifically focuses on current household members, you might not need to include him.
Lastly, for any major life-changing applications, it's crucial to seek advice from a tax professional or attorney to make sure you are providing all necessary and correct information.
