It is credit. You not claim a child as earned income credit but you can claim as a credit against income tax for a 17 year old provided all the other tests are met.

Yes you can. For EIC they have to be under 19 at the end of the year, or under 24 and a full time student. It's the child TAX credit that quits the year they turn 17, not EIC.
