My son got almost all his college paid for should I keep him on my tax as a dependent or should he file alone?

He has very little income. most of his college is paid

If he had very little income, it is likely you provided more than half of his support and should claim him as a dependent.  Scholarships/financial aid are considered third party support, so don't include that when calculating if you or he provided more than half of his support.
