    You may be able to keep him as a dependent, you cannot claim his 1099 income. See  Whom May I Claim as a Dependent? to determine your eligibility. Your student will need to file a return.

    If your student had scholarships, you may want your student to claim some of that income for you to have full college deduction on AOTC, if a dependent. If so, you may want to look at another of my answers for help.
