I assume that you are using some kind of software to prepare his tax return. The relevant age in respect to a tax return is one's age on December 31, the year the return is for. The software may assume that, at 18, he is your dependent and cannot deduct an amount for his personal exemption, and that at 19 this is no longer the case. Also, if, at 18, he has investment income, it may be taxed at his parents' rate rather than his. At 19, it is taxed at his rate. Beyond these preliminary suggestions, without more information, I cannot guess what the difference consists of. Maybe it's just some really bad software.

What is a Tax Return?

A tax return is the money you receive back from the government when they calculate that you over pad on your taxes throughout the year. If taxes are automatically deducted from each paycheck, your paycheck is your net income. The government often takes more than they are supposed to receive. If you file your tax return documents on time, you will typically receive a check in the mail of the difference that you are owed. If your paychecks are given without deducting taxes, you will owe the IRS money at the end of the year.
