You can claim your son as long as he isn't claimed by anyone else. Either his other parent, or another person you and he could be living with (Like your parents for example). There are many rules to determine who claims a child, relationship and income can make the difference.
I think you are getting confused on the age because of the Earned Income Tax Credit rules. The EITC is only for people over the age of 25 but under 65 UNLESS you have a qualifying child.
I think it is possibly this that confused you. It doesn't determine who can and can't file taxes, it is just a rule for claiming that credit.

I believe that if you have a son, you can claim him on your own taxes as long as YOU are not being claimed as a dependant by anyone else.

As long as you aren't being claimed on someone else's taxes or your son isn't being claimed by someone else....then no, there is no age limit.

No, your age doesn't matter.
