Yes. Income reported in Box 7 of a 1099-MISC is considered self-employment income. The filing threshold for self-employed income is net $400. So your son must file his own return. Be sure he indicates on his return that someone else can claim him as a dependent.

Thanks. Can I file for him or does he have to file on his own?

You can't put his income on your return. He must file his own separate return.
