Can my dependent file l040 long form ??
My wife and I claim my son on your taxes, he is a college student age 20. He is having Lasik eye surgury this summer Cost=$3000. He will only gross $4000 thus summer.
The $3000 medical expnses will only be deductable on HIS return. Medical expenses of $3000 are NOT deductable on my joint return.
Can my son file an individual 1040 and capture his medical expenses and still allow me to claim him on my return as a dependent??
Ok His gross is less than the dependent filing limit $5350.
He does not have to file but..
Won't he want to file to recover the State and Federal withholding his employer has been deducting??
Thanks for all the relies!!

It's a moot point.
Your son's income of $4000 is BELOW the filing requirement so he won't owe taxes at all. This is true whether or not he is your dependent and whether or not he tries to itemize.

He can file a long form even though he's your dependent. But if his income is $4000 for the year, he won't owe income tax anyway so there's no sense in itemizing, it won't save him anything. Itemized deductions can only decrease your tax, not give you a refund, and for him there will be nothing to decrease.
