if he lived with you and didn't provide half his own support you're good.
Walmart probably took taxes out - he may want to file a return to get a refund. I don't know if he has to or not.
Turbotax has really good help pages for this stuff.
And how do you figure out “half his support”?
@lufins-dad Seriously... do the research. Jon is right but only because he is 16. Next year he may not be what they call a Qualfying Child. You need to understand these things thoroughly.

My accountant in the past said not to worry.
Bernard Black's accountant said the same thing.

I've never watched it - I keep meaning to, as I like Bill Bailey.

I always thought @jon-nyc was older than that. I guess he is just wise past his age. 5555

LD, we've got the same issue, as my son is 19 and working part-time for the first time.
I'll be plugging him into the tax software to see what happens, and checking online. Admittedly, my taxes are probably more straightforward than yours as I'm a regular 9-5'er.

When does he turn 19? In whatever year that is he will have to be a full time student up until age 24.

Next year...My big question was really all about the “half the support”. That is a very nebulous benchmark.
