One of your other threads:

So....make up your mind--are you son or the father and is the job on Twitch or a fast food place?  Or are your questions even for real?

if he earned as wages or as self-employed) was less than $400 in 2020, he does not have to file

You can use the calculator at the following link on the IRS web site to see if you have to file a tax return, or if your son has to file.
