My 16 year old son worked last year and received a w-2 how do I claim him on my taxes where he will still be able to complete his taxes as well

[Texas Roger · Accepted solution]

You claim your son as usual on your tax return. You do not enter his income on your tax return.

If he had more than $6300 of W-2 income, he must file a tax return. If he had less income, he is not required to file but should file if he had federal income tax withheld in order to get a refund.

If he files a return, make sure he indicates on the return that he can be claimed by someone else.
