From the information you submitted, yes, he may be claimed as a dependent. For tax purposes, you can claim your child as a dependent if
they meet the following requirements: 1. The
child must be your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister,
half brother, half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of
them. 2. The
child must be (a) under age 19 at the end of the year and younger than you (or
your spouse, if filing jointly), (b) under
age 24 at the end of the year, a student, and younger than you (or
your spouse, if filing jointly), or (c) any age if permanently and totally
disabled. 3. The
child must have lived with you for more than half of the year. Note: Absences while away at school do not
count as 'not living with you'. 4. The
child must not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the
year. 5. The
child must not be filing a joint return for the year (unless that return is
filed only to get a refund of income tax withheld or estimated tax paid).

(up to $5,950) plus $350.
They had net earnings of at least $400 from your business or self-employment.
They had tax taken out of your paychecks and you want it back.

No, do not enter all the business deductions on his portion. Self-employment taxes (federal, state, social security, medicare) are calculated based on your net income. You would be understating his earned income and overstating your earned income.
Business Owned by Married Couple :
Normally two people who own a business need to file a partnership return. Since you're married you won't need to file a partnership return if you split your business income and expenses between you and report them as separate businesses. This will be to your advantage when it comes to things like Social Security and certain deductions and credits.
Here's how you do it:
1. Split all of your business income and expenses according to your ownership percentages.
2. Select the ownership of this Schedule C to XXX.
3. Enter XXX's income and expenses on this Schedule C.
4. Create a new Schedule C for spouse (make sure the business description is different from XXX.
5. Enter spouse's income and expenses on the new Schedule C.

Yes, your daughter would file her own income tax return to get a refund. If your daughter got a W-2 for 2016 and had federal income tax
withheld , she should file a
federal income tax return to get money back (refund). TurboTax Online has a Free version you
may be able to use. If she chooses to
complete an income tax return, it is important that that she choose the following options:
Someone else can claim me as a dependent on
their tax return and
And this person will claim me on their 2016
tax return.

Yes, she may be your dependent and you may claim her if she meets the "Tests To Be a Qualifying Relative":
A dependent doesn't always have to be your child. Dependents
come in all shapes, sizes and relationships. If all of the statements below are
true, you can claim them as a dependent.
Relationship: The
person lives in your home for the entire year and is considered to be a member
of your household. If they don't live with you, they need to be related to you.
Income: Generally,
their income is less than $4,050 (not including Social Security and welfare).
Support: Generally,
you provide more than half the person's support.
Marital
status: Generally, a dependent can't do their taxes with a spouse
(married filing jointly). They also can't be a dependent on someone else's
return.
Nationality: The
person is a United States citizen; or a resident or national of the U.S.,
Canada or Mexico.
Still not sure? We'll
ask you questions in TurboTax to help you figure out who you can claim as a
dependent.

401(k) Rollovers show as income but are not taxable. Turbotax will show the distribution on Form 1040 Line 16a (for Pensions and Annuities) with the word ROLLOVER next to it, and there will be no tax
consequence.
Please see the screenshot below that shows the screen, in TurboTax, where you would show the rollover designation.
In TurboTax, jump directly to the entry
screen for Form 1099-R:
1. In
the TurboTax search box, enter 1099-r (with the dashes) and press the Enter
key,
Then click on the jump to
1099-R link. 2. On
the Your 1099-R screen, check the Yes button by Did
you have any of these types of income in 2015?, then click Continue. 3. Follow
the prompts to either import or enter your RRB-1099-R form and finish the
interviews. Important: if a Form 1099-R box is blank, leave
the box blank in TurboTax! Do not enter a
"0" (zero). Be sure to answer the question that you
moved the money to another retirement account (this could be the same retirement
account).
If you had tax withholding on Form
1099-R box 4, you will get it back as either a refund or when it is applied as
withholding for tax owed (liabilities) on your Form 1040.

If the major repairs are improvements, you must capitalize (depreciate) any expense
you pay to improve your rental property. See instructions below on how to enter. An expense is for an improvement if it:
Results in
a betterment to your property.
Restores your
property.
Or adapts your property to a new or
different use.
A rental expense is an expense that must be both ordinary and
necessary. Their useful life is generally less than one year. Rental expenses are deducted in the current year. For example, light bulbs, paint, furnace air filters. See instructions below on how to enter.
Assets
have a useful life of more than
one year and must be depreciated over their useful life. For example, furnace, flooring, windows.
Some assets may be deducted
in the current year, depending on current tax law.
How to enter income and expenses from a rental property:
With your return open in TurboTax, search for the word rentals in the search box. Click Jump to rentals in the search result.
Answer Yes to the question Did you have any rental or royalty income and expenses?
Follow the on-screen instructions as you proceed through the rental and royalties section.
We'll first ask you to enter general information about your rental (description, address, ownership percentage, etc.)
Eventually, you'll come to the Rental Summary screen which is where you enter your:
Rental income
Rental expenses
Capital assets and depreciation
Vehicle expenses
