Does my dependent (17 year old full time high school student that I claimed) have to file his own tax return? He earned $4800 in wages at a resturant and 10,900 in unemployment in 2020. We live in Maryland.

Yes he does have to file a tax return since his gross income is more than $12,400.
When filing the return he Must indicate on his tax return that he can be claimed as a dependent.
