You son does not have to file a Minnesota income tax return if he was a part-year resident with no MN income.

Minnesota says: "If you are a part-year resident or nonresident, you must file if your Minnesota gross income meets the state's minimum filing requirement. $0 is below the minimum filing requirement.

He doesn't need to file a MN return because he does not meet the Minnesota gross income requirement for Part year residents. Reference: https://www.revenue.state.mn.us/calculating-minnesota-gross-income
