Call H & R Block and ask that question. I would assume that if he is not making that much money and if you are still supporting him, food, clothing and roof over his head. I would say yes. Lets say he only make a few thousand a year he might not have to file for taxes himself. GOOD LUCK

Here is the info. Also if you can claim your son, then your some can't claim his own exemption on his tax return.
1. The child must be your son, daughter, stepchild, eligible 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, (b) under age 24 at the end of the year and a full-time student.
3. The child must have lived with you for more than half of the year.
4. The child must not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the year.
5. If the child meets the rules to be a qualifying child of more than one person, you must be the person entitled to claim the child as a qualifying child.
Also if both you and your child claim the exemption, both of you will get letters from IRS. One of you will have to amend the return and pay interest and penalty on the tax due. So you should discuss your position with your child.

If your child is under 19 on 12/31/2007, or under 24 and a full-time student, then you can claim him as a "qualifying child" if
1. He lived with you for more than half the year
2. He did not provide over half of his own support
If this applies to you, claim your child, and when (or if) he files he own tax return, he will not claim himself.

As long as you contribute AT least 1/2 of his living...meaning..you pay for at least half for him to live..food, clothing, medical, housing etc
