What tax year are you asking about?  There are no 1040EZ forms for 2018--everyone uses a Form 1040.  Are you asking about 2017?

 

For 2018, if your son has self-employment income you can use the Freedom Edition:

 

 

FREEDOM EDITION

You cannot enter a 1099Misc or self-employment income when you are using the Free Edition. If you qualify, there is another free software program available from TurboTax which will allow you to enter self-employment income.

Try Free File:

You qualify if your income was $34,000 or less, or $66,000 or less if active duty military, or if you qualify for Earned Income Credit

If you mean that you need to file for 2017 on a 1040EZ then you either need to use the paper form and prepare it by hand and mail it or you need to download 2017 software --but it still has to be mailed.  A 2017 return cannot be e-filed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2015, 2016, or 2017 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.
