Yes, if you are claiming him as a dependent the Premium Tax Credit will be based on your income instead of his. This means if his income was low enough to qualify for the credits, and yours is not, you would end up paying the tax credits back.

Was his income significantly less than he expected? He would have only been able to receive Advance credits (which you are needing to repay) if he told the Marketplace his income was going to be over $11,880, but you are generally only able to claim him as a dependent if his income is under $4050.
