Question

If my dependent son has W2 earnings less than $1,000 does he need to file a return or do I report his income as my dependant?

if that is his entire income for 2021, he's not required to file.  the only reason you might want to file is to get back and income taxes withheld.  Social Security and Medicare taxes withheld are not refundable. he would need to file his return from his own account though you can use your e-mail address.   you do not under any circumstances report his w-2 wages on your return.
