My college age son got a W2. the amount was 10,068.68.

I put him on as a dependent, but did not put in his W2 amount. Do I need to amend my already submitted tax return?

No. You did the correct thing. He can file a return and get any tax withheld back.

MY DEPENDENT HAD A JOB

If your dependent has a W-2 for his after-school job, summer job, etc. you do not include the information on your own return. You can still claim your child as a dependent on your own return. He/she can file his own return for a refund of some of his withheld wages from boxes 2 or 17 (he won’t get back anything for Social Security or Medicare), but MUST indicate on it that he can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. (Supervise this closely or prepare it for him!)
