It depends. When you add someone as a dependent in TurboTax, we'll ask you a series of questions to make sure you can claim them and let you know if they qualify as a dependent on your return. In order to determine if you can claim your son as a dependent, you will need to establish if they meet the following requirements.
Qualifying child
Qualifying relative
