If he qualifies as your dependent, yet did not check the box stating that someone else can claim him, he will have to amend his return Even if you did not claim him, he would not be allowed to take the personal exemption if he can be claimed by someone else.

You can claim him on your return, (It may be rejected electronically if his return has already been accepted and you may have to mail it in.)

Hope this Helps!
