3rd Party Sick Pay reporting

Hello,

My son received money for Third Party Sick Pay. There is no Fed tax withheld, but there is an amount listed in Box 1 as well as SS Tax and Medicare tax withheld.

This amount puts him over the $4,400 where I could no longer claim him as a dependent.

Does the IRS consider this sick pay as wages?

Thank you.

TurboTax has committed fraud having a third party withhold $96 of my refund. I am reporting this to the better business bureau.
