My adult son lived with me all year long if I claim him as a dependent does he have to file taxes?

Did he have less than $4150 of income in 2018?

He may need to file taxes if he had any income at all.

Then he does not need to file a return, assuming he had no income at all in 2018.

You can claim your son as a qualified relative. You will get the $500 credit for other dependents.
He does not have to file a return since he had no income.
