The two credits, child tax credit and earned income credit have age limits. I can't recall which is which. But for one of the credits the child must have been under the age of 13 on Dec 31 of the tax year, and for the other credit under the age of 17. I doubt your collage student qualifies you for either credit.
Under age 13 is Dependent Care Credit. EIC is the same as a Qualifying Child dependent (Under 19 or under 24 if a full-time student). Child tax Credit is under 17.
