He must file a 1040. This type of income cannot be entered on a 1040EZ. There is a free version of TurboTax called the Freedom Edition that can be used for this type of income if the total income is $33,000 or less. Here is a link to switch to it: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2026912-how-do-i-switch-to-turbotax-freedom-edition
