Deductions & credits

No, as long as you have claimed all five children as dependents on your return then they are included for the stimulus payment. It does not matter how many children qualified for the earned income credit. The stimulus payment is available for each dependent under the age of 17 that is claimed as a dependent. So any dependents age 17 or older do not qualify.
