You do not report his/her income on your return. If it has to be reported at all, it goes on his own return. Your dependent must file a tax return for 2016 if he had any of the following:
1. Total income (wages, salaries, taxable scholarship etc.) of more than $6,300* (2016).
2. Unearned income (interest, dividends, capital gains, 1099-R) of more than $1050 (2016).
3. Unearned income over $350 and gross income of more than $1050
4. Household employee income (e.g. baby sitting, lawn mowing) over $2000
5. Other self employment income over $400, including box 7 of a 1099-MISC
6. Gross income was at least $5 and his spouse files a separate return and itemizes deductions
