My son is attending College abroad. He earned an amount of less than $1000 for some work at the college. Do I have to include him in my return? I still claim him in my return, since he is 21. Thank you.

No. You cannot include his earned income on your return. Since he only earned $1,000, if they did not withhold taxes, he would not need to file a return. However, depending on the state you live in, he may have to file a state return. Which state do you live in?
Thanks for your answer.
I live in NJ. He lives in Greece for the past 2.5 years.
Then he would not need to file a state or federal return claiming only the $1,000.
