I have an adult son who lived with me in 2015. He had some income but it was less than $3000.00. Part of the time that he lived with me he was unable to work due to an accident. Would I be able to claim him? On the tax form would I check the relationship as "child" or how do I complete that part of the form?

To be a dependent as a qualifying relative, in addition to being a citizen of the US or a resident of the US, Canada or Mexico:

you must provide more than 1/2 of their support,
they must not earn more than $4,000 in 2015 in gross income subject to tax (social security doesn't count).
they must not file a joint return with another
If not an actual relative, they must live with you all 365 days of the year, and
they must not be a qualifying child of another taxpayer

He would be listed as "child."

How do you enter their income, being a child dependent, but not a full time student?

You do not put a child's income on your own tax return. You are posting to a three year old thread. If you have other questions, please start your own new question in a new thread.
