When you click through the options, make sure you indicate that your son lived with you more than half the year. Time spent away at school counts as time spent living at home for college students. Then he will be your dependent, & it doesn't matter how much he earns, as long as HE doesn't pay more than half of HIS OWN SUPPORT.

Since he is a full time student, he already qualifies as your dependent. His income does not matter as a qualifying child as long as he hasn't provided more than half of his own support.

When I click through the TurboTax options, I verify that he is my son--but when I click on the option that he earned "at least $4050 in 2016," TurboTax suggests that I cannot claim him as a dependent. Is there a TurboTax method for declaring him as a dependent--even if he did earn more that $4050? Thanks in advance.
