My son worked part-time this past year. The store he worked for took out taxes that we think he is due to get a refund for. In order to get the refund for him, it is my understanding I need to submit a separate return for him. If I do this, will I still be able to deduct as a dependent on my tax return?

If your dependent has a W-2 for his after-school job, etc. you do not include the information on your own return. You can still claim your child as a dependent on your own return. He/she can file his own return for a refund of some of his withheld wages (he won’t get back anything for Social Security or Medicare), but MUST indicate on it that he can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. (Supervise this closely or prepare it for him!)
If your dependent’s earnings were over $400 and were reported on a 1099Misc then he must file a return and pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.
