Question

Can I claim my son as a dependent if he is 19 years old and I support him the 12 month of the year. He is a full time student and he works part time.

If your son was a full-time student he can still be claimed as a qualifying child dependent.   And...the education credits go on your own tax return.   He can file a tax return himself to seek refund of tax withheld from boxes 2 and 17 of his W-2 but must say on his own return that he can be claimed as someone else's dependent.
