No, your son would have to file on his own.  You can claim him as an exemption and you should look into education credits:

You, as a parent, can not claim your son's income on your tax return.

If he files, he should not claim himself as an exemption for himself, if he does, this will cause problems since only 1 person can claim a person (social security number). 

In order to get the $11.20 back, he would need to file a return separately from you.
