Our high school foster son works part time and made approximately $5000. No federal withholding tax. Does he need to file?

iF you dependent son didn't have taxes withheld, he doesn't need to file a tax return.  He would only file a tax return to get a refund if taxes were withheld.

Did he get a W2 or a 1099NEC?  If he got a 1099NEC that is self employment and he has to file a return for it.
