For the age of the child he/she has to be under the age of 19 at the end of the year, or under the age of 24 at the end of the year and a student, or permanently and totally disabled at any time during the year, regardless of age.
It's the $1,000 Child Tax Credit that disappears the year a child hits 17.
I've attached a link to irs info regarding earned income credit.

Earned Income Credit Age

1. Your son turns 17 this year, means that you will no longer be eligible for Child Tax Credit.
2. A person (even filing status Single) can be eligible for Earn Income Credit even if he/she doesn't have a qualifying child.
3. For Earned Income Credit the age limit for the qualifying child is 19.

The cutoff age for earned income credit based on a child is:
1. 19 if the child is not a full-time student or disabled. This means that the year your non-disabled child turns 19 and is not a student, he will not qualify you for the EIC.
2. 24 if the child is a full-time student. This means that the year your non-disabled child turns 24, he will not qualify you for the EIC.
3. There is no age restriction for a permanently and totally disabled child. As long the disabled child lives with you for more than six months, he will qualify you for the EIC.

He'll still be a qualifying child for EIC, just not for the child tax credit any more. EIC goes to age 19, or 24 if a full time student.

I believe if he still lives at home you can receive it until he turns 18 at least that is the way it is in Canada. Oh yeah and I believe he still has to be in school if he drops out then no more money.

EIC is just when you make between a certain amount a year. When you are taking care of someone then you are getting that $1K on top of it
