I have a son in college, he has a w-2 he is my dependent, how do I or do I input his w-2 info in my taxes?

I understand that if he did not make over $6300 then I do not have to input the info but he made $6620 so he made $320 over the limit so where o I go from here?

You do not report a dependent's earned income from wages reported on a W-2 or their income from self-employment on your tax return.  The dependent would file their own tax return and indicate on their return that they can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.
