If your son is a fulltime student, under the age of 24 and meets the other requirements (see below) then you will be able to claim him as a dependent. He is considered to have lived with you while away in college.

I do claim him. The question is regarding CA renters credit for his off campus housing. Can I claim renters credit because I pay his rent?

So who can claim the renter's credit in this situation? The dependent or the person claiming them?
