Generally, you can claim your child as a dependent if:
·
The child is a U.S. citizen or
resident who lived with you over half the year (temporary absences from
the home while away at school count as time spent living with you);
· The child is under age 19, or
under age 24 if a full-time student;
· You provide over half of their
support;
· The child is not claimed as a
dependent by anyone else; and
· The child is not filing a joint
return.
For more information, please see Rules
for Claiming a Dependent on Your Tax Return.
However, I will say. In order to technically "
do your son's tax return for him?" you will have to set up a new
TurboTax account. You can still use the
email you used for your own tax return (that way any news/important information comes into your email inbox) however you will have to
generate a new password to set up a different account.
Upon doing so, you can classify him on his own
TurboTax account as "
your dependent," but you (or him) will have to generate his own unique
TurboTax account.
I hope this information helps!
Best of luck!
