No, earned income goes on his own return, not yours.

Thanks Lisa, but does he need to file or just me alone

Look up Who Must File in the instructions.

If he doesn't have to file but there is withholding, he may want to file to get a refund.

This is a message board for professional tax preparers, this is a very basic tax question. If you are in fact a professional, please, at the very least, download Pub 17 from IRS.....is covers all the basics like this.
