I'm claiming my 18 yo (4/4/1998) dependent bec he lived w me for 8 months b4 he went to college - he worked dur the summer @ a part time job-making $1400.oo- can he file?

Can he file too on his own for a refund ?   Or because I am writing him as a dependent, he can't file??

He can absolutely file his own return. What he needs to let the program know though is that someone else can claim him as a dependent, otherwise when he e-files his returns they will be rejected.
