I claim my son education loan tax credit and at the same time, my son has W2 for 2024. This W2 is less than $5K. Which form shall I use to file his W2 in my tax return?

FYI, my son is above 18 this year 2025. He got the W2 when he was 17 in 2024.

You do Not enter the child's earned income from wages reported on a W-2 on your tax return.

The child can file their own tax return and will need to indicate on their tax return that they can be claimed as a dependent.
