You can claim your son as a dependent "qualifying relative" as long as he meets all of the requirements (please see FAQ below).

Please read the TurboTax FAQ for more information on “Who can I claim as my dependent?”: Who can I claim as my dependent?

No.  

A qualifying individual for the Child and Dependent Care Credit is:

  • Your dependent qualifying child who is under age 13 when the care is provided,
  • Your spouse who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care and lived with you for more than half of the year, or
  • An individual who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care, lived with you for more than half of the year, and either: (a) is your dependent; or (b) could have been your dependent except that he or she has gross income that equals or exceeds the gross income test amount, or files a joint return, or you (or your spouse, if filing jointly) could have been claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer's 2018 return.
