You do not mention whether your son is under age 19, or under age 24 and a full-time student. If he is, his income would not matter. From the phrasing of your question, I suspect he is not. So, he would no longer be a "qualifying child" for purposes of being your dependent. He could only continue to be your dependent under the "qualifying relative" rule.
Generally, you can claim your "qualifying relative" as a dependent if:
As you can see, under this rule, your son's gross income would disqualify him from being your dependent.
