Question

My son and I have the same name. I am claiming him since he lives with me and is a full time student. He held a part time job and made just under $5K. Where do I enter it

You claim Eric as your dependent in the dependent section. You do not enter his income on your tax return. If his income was from a W-2 and he had no federal withholding, he is not required to file a tax return. If he had withholding on a W-2, he should file a tax return to get a refund. If he was paid on a 1099-MISC or no form, he must prepare and file a tax return to pay self employment tax. He will not owe any federal income tax.

He must indicate on his tax return that he will be claimed by someone else.
